Lands in Cincinnati

Hudson signed with the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.

Analysis: Hudson was waived by the Giants on Saturday, after he made10 catches on 15 targets for 132 yards in 11 appearances with the team. With Hayden Hurst (calf) unlikely to play Sunday against the Browns, Hudson could find himself with the active roster this weekend.

Off to waivers

The Giants waived Hudson on Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Analysis: In a corresponding move, Nick Vannett was signed to the active roster. Hudson was in the midst of a season during which he posted career highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards, but he'll now become an unrestricted free agent assuming he isn't claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

Gets one target in Week 12

Hudson turned his lone target into a 10-yard reception in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hudson played 12 of the Giants' 59 snaps on offense while working as part of a three-man rotation at tight end that included Lawrence Cager and Chris Myarick. All three players are candidates to see their roles get reduced in the Giants' Week 13 contest against the Commanders, as head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he's optimistic Daniel Bellinger (eye) will be able to return to the lineup, according to Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. Prior to missing the Giants' last four games with a fractured eye socket, Bellinger had been serving as the team's top tight end.

Modest production in win

Hudson caught all three of his targets for 24 yards Sunday in a 24-16 victory against Houston.

Analysis: Hudson tied for the team lead with three catches and finished third with 24 receiving yards in the victory. The Giants continue to take a run-first approach, as Daniel Jones attempted only 17 passes, and his 13 completions were spread fairly evenly among six different pass catchers. Five of Hudson's eight catches this season have come in New York's past two games, but his role may be reduced in Week 11 if Daniel Bellinger (eye) is able to return.

Top option at tight end Sunday

Hudson caught three of five targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis: With Daniel Bellinger sidelined due to a fractured eye socket, Hudson stepped up as the Giants' top receiving option at tight end, while Chris Myarick caught the only pass thrown his way for 10 yards. With the Giants on bye next week, Bellinger might have enough time to recover and return to action, but if he remains out Hudson could have some deep-league appeal in Week 10 against the Texans.

Active Sunday

Hudson is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Hudson landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness and didn't practice Friday. However, he appears to have cleared the aliment and will be good to go Sunday. The reserve tight end has caught three of five targets for 40 yards across 130 offensive snaps during the first five games of the campaign.

Questionable for Week 6

Hudson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Baltimore.

Analysis: Hudson apparently fell ill Thursday, and he now appears to be at risk of missing his first game action of the season Sunday. If he can't play versus the Ravens, the Giants could be forced to lean more heavily on rookie Daniel Bellinger.

Dealing with illness

Hudson did not practice Thursday due to a non-COVID related illness, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hudson was not listed with any issues on the Giants' practice report Wednesday, and the exact nature and severity of this illness are still unknown. The backup tight end has caught three of his five targets for 40 yards through the first five games of the season, though he's played an increased percentage of the Giants' offensive snaps over the past two weeks, with 61 percent against Chicago and 45 percent against Green Bay. Hudson will have two more days to overcome this illness before Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Draws three targets Week 2

Hudson recorded two receptions for 23 yards on three targets in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: The pair of receptions were Hudson's first since the 2020 campaign, when he recorded a 3-41-0 receiving line on seven targets over 11 games for the Buccaneers. Rookie Daniel Bellinger remains the Giants' top tight end, but with snap shares barely north of 50 percent in both of his first two games, he's not necessarily entrenched atop the depth chart. Even if Hudson ends up poaching more snaps from Bellinger, the 27-year-old is still expected to primarily serve as a blocker whenever he's on the field.

Re-signs with Giants

Hudson was re-signed by the Giants on Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Hudson was scooped up by the Giants last week after getting cut by the 49ers. He originally failed to make it through New York's final roster cuts, but they have since opted to bring him back with both Daniel Bellinger (concussion) and Chris Myarick (foot) dealing with injuries.

Let go by Big Blue

The Giants released Hudson on Wednesday, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

Analysis: Hudson was cut by the 49ers last week and quickly latched on with the Giants. He initially made the 53-man roster but was let go just one day later. Hudson suited up for just two games with the 49ers last year after making 20 appearances across the two previous seasons in Tampa Bay.

Joins Giants

Hudson has been signed by the Giants following a workout Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Tanner was cut by the 49ers on Tuesday and his quickly found a new home in New York. He spent his first two seasons with the Buccaneers and recorded 67 yards on five receptions across 20 games. In 2021 he suited up for just two games with the 49ers. He is now competing for a roster spot in New York.

Aug 24, 2022 7:30 PM EST


Let go Tuesday

Hudson was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hudson appeared in two games with the 49ers last season, while also spending time on their practice squad. He re-upped with the team on a reserve/future deal in January, but he'll now have to work for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Aug 23, 2022 11:54 AM EST


Receives futures deal

Hudson signed a reserve/future deal with the 49ers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Analysis: Hudson played two games for the 49ers this season in Weeks 5 and 7, after suiting up 20 times for Tampa Bay in 2019 and 2020. The 26-year-old has five catches on 12 targets for 67 yards in his career. He'll now work to carve out a bigger role in 2022.

Joins 49ers' practice squad

Hudson signed with the 49ers' practice squad Monday, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.

Analysis: Hudson was waived by San Francisco on Jan. 7 to make room for Ambry Thomas to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. However, Hudson is now back with the team's practice squad to provide depth at tight end. Hudson has been active for two games this season, logging one offensive and 10 special teams snaps.

Jan 10, 2022 7:49 PM EST


Waived by San Fran

Hudson was waived by the 49ers on Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis: Hudson appeared in just two games for the 49ers this season, notching 11 total snaps. In a corresponding move, they activated Ambry Thomas off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Jan 7, 2022 1:25 PM EST


Promoted for Week 17

Hudson was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hudson has a chance to see on-field action for just the third time this season. He'll provide mostly special-teams depth for the 49ers on Sunday.

Jan 1, 2022 2:22 PM EST


Reverts to practice squad

Hudson reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: Hudson was elevated to the 49ers' active roster for Sunday's game against the Colts with George Kittle (calf) on injured reserve. The tight end saw just three snaps on special teams in the contest. Hudson now heads to the practice squad to await his next opportunity.

Oct 26, 2021 5:56 AM EST


Joins active roster

Hudson was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Hudson will be active for the second straight game with George Kittle (calf) on injured reserve. During Week 5, the 26-year-old played just one offensive snap, so he likely won't be a part of the 49ers' offensive game plan Sunday.

Oct 23, 2021 3:26 PM EST


Returns to practice squad

Hudson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
