Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Packers and wasn't able to clear concussion protocol on a short week. Fellow tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was also injured during the game and will miss time. Noah Fant and Drew Sample will be lined up for more opportunities, with Fant as likely as the top pass-catching option. Fant has been productive in a limited sample so far this season, hauling in 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Carolina Panthers tight end James Mitchell has an opportunity to make some noise with Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Tommy Tremble will move to the top of the Panthers' TE depth chart with Sanders injured, but he's more of a blocker than a pass-catcher, so Mitchell might have a chance to make some noise going forward in his first year in Carolina. The 26-year-old former fifth-round selection (177th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2022 out of Virginia Tech has caught all 13 of his targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in 30 games played (one start) in his three NFL seasons with the Lions before joining the Panthers on a reserve/futures contract back in January. Mitchell is only worth a look on the waiver wire in the deepest of fantasy leagues at the moment.
