Hudson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Hudson was listed as questionable after being a late-week addition to the injury report. He's good to go for his normal role on special teams for Cleveland.
Hudson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Hudson popped up on the Browns' injury report as a limited participant in Friday's practice, and he's now in jeopardy of missing the team's Week 9 contest. The 26-year-old linebacker has recorded five total tackles across seven appearances with the Browns this season, playing almost strictly on special teams (135 of 138 total snaps on special teams). If Hudson can't play through his ankle issue Sunday, Nathaniel Watson could see additional time as one of Cleveland's top rotational linebackers.
The Browns signed Hudson off the Saints' practice squad on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Hudson was one of New Orleans' standard elevations in Week 1, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. He bumped up from the practice squad and played five snaps on defense, plus nine on special teams, in the Saints' blowout win over Carolina. Now, Hudson will get a chance to build on his momentum as a member of Cleveland's active roster.
Hudson was released by the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Hudson jumped to New Orleans this spring after a four-year stint in Washington that saw him have the best season of his career in 2023. However, the Michigan product was unable to carry over that momentum into a 53-man roster spot.
Hudson (undisclosed) was seen participating in practice Tuesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Hudson was held out of Monday's practice with an unspecified injury, but he was back on the field participating in team drills one day later. He registered four tackles in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, and the 2020 fifth-rounder will look to build off that performance against the 49ers on Sunday.
Hudson (undisclosed) was unavailable for the Saints' practice Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Hudson finished with four total tackles in Saturday's 16-14 victory over the Cardinals in the team's preseason opener. He appears to have left the contest a little dinged up and he'll attempt to get back out on the practice field prior to next Sunday's matchup with San Francisco.
The Saints and Hudson agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Hudson put together a career-best 2023 season with Washington, the final year of his rookie deal, when he notched 74 tackles (44 solo), two pass defenses and 1.0 sacks in 17 regular-season games. Eight of those contests were starts, and he contributed 341 snaps on special teams. He figures to handle a similar role with New Orleans.
