Tanner Hudson News

Tanner Hudson Expected to Miss Entire Season With Torn Pec

Tuesday, October 13, 8:22 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season, his agent told WLWT's Charlie Clifford. Hudson only had seven receptions for 33 yards and one touchdown in four games played this year with the Bengals, but it is a big loss in the team's TE corps behind starter Mike Gesicki. The good news for the Bengals is that they have a deep group of tight ends behind Gesicki, which also includes Drew Sample and Erick All Jr. Hudson had the best season of his career in 2023 in his first year with the Bengals, catching 39 of his 50 targets for 352 yards and one touchdown in 12 games played. He has never scored more than two touchdowns in any of his eight seasons in the league, but he is a well-respected pass-catching backup TE when he is healthy.

Zaire Mitchell-Paden News

Zaire Mitchell-Paden Back on Active Roster

Saturday, September 13, 6:27 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell-Paden was elevated for the season opener as well, but failed to record a stat during the game. He played a total of 22 snaps, but really didn't do much with his time on the field. He'll serve as depth at tight end with Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined again. He's unlikely to bring much to the table, but the absence of Likely means increase the fantasy value of Mark Andrews for Sunday's contest.
