Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson is officially done for the year, an absolutely brutal blow confirmed by his agent after he tore his pectoral. Just like that, his fourth season with the team is over, and it happened in a Week 5 win, no less. Talk about a gut punch.
The Play That Ended The Season
Can you believe it? Hudson’s injury happened during the Bengals’ 31-24 victory over the Dolphins in Week 5. He even caught a two-yard touchdown pass in that game. Three catches for 14 yards overall in that huge win, and then, boom, his season is gone. It just highlights how quickly things can change in this league. Prior to that game, he’d pulled in four catches for 19 yards across the first four weeks.
What’s Next For The Bengals Tight End Room?
This isn’t just a loss for Hudson, it’s a huge test for the Bengals’ tight end depth. With Hudson out for the remainder of the season, confirmed by his agent to Charlie Clifford of WLWT, the team is now relying on Mike Gesicki, Erick All, Drew Sample, and Jack Endries to carry the load. Hudson was set to be a free agent in 2027, making this injury even more of a tough break personally for him. Losing a guy who just found the end zone means the remaining tight ends need to step up big time for the Bengals as they navigate the rest of the year.
