Endries, a Bengals tight end rookie, had a quiet preseason finale with 2 catches for 11 yards. While there were concerns he could be squeezed off the 53-man roster, the Bengals kept him as the 5th tight end. The source projects him as likely game-day inactive early in the season because he is still developing as a blocker, despite viewing him as a big part of the future at the tight end position. His role will expand as his blocking improves.

Jack Endries is in a battle to make the Bengals' 53-man roster, competing with Tanner Hudson for the final tight end spot if the team keeps four. In the preseason game versus Chicago, Endries finished with one reception for 7 yards on three targets (one underthrown and intercepted), posting a 67.6 pass-blocking grade and 61.1 run-blocking grade. The source believes Endries will likely make the roster but notes a stronger performance in the preseason finale would strengthen his case.

Tight end had a step-down performance in preseason game two compared to week one, finishing with 1 reception for 7 yards on 3 targets; one target resulted in an underthrow intercepted by the Bears. He posted respectable blocking grades (67.6 pass-blocking, 61.1 run-blocking) but is in a roster battle for the final tight end spot. If the Bengals keep four tight ends, the final spot will likely come down to Endries or Tanner Hudson, who had 2 receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown. The source believes Endries 'finds his way on the roster' but notes a bigger preseason finale performance would strengthen his case.

Endries, a rookie seventh-round pick out of Texas, made a strong first impression in the preseason opener, catching a 17-yard TD pass from Joe Flacco while getting a chance with the second-team offense during his three-catch performance. The Bengals already had a murky TE pecking order, and Endries' potential emergence could further muddy the water. He showcased receiving chops in college with 346 receiving yards at Texas in 2025 and 1,030 receiving yards across two years at California.

Endries, a seventh-round draft pick, had an impressive preseason debut with three catches and a touchdown against Detroit while impressing the coaching staff with his blocking progress. He is competing for a spot in a very crowded tight end room that includes Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Erick All Jr., Tanner Hudson, and Cam Grandy. While the Bengals may opt to keep five tight ends, Endries has flashed in the passing game and his strong preseason performance has made him a legitimate contender for a roster spot.

Endries, a seventh-round draft pick in 2025, had a strong preseason debut with three catches and a touchdown against Detroit while impressing the coaching staff with his blocking progress. However, he still has to earn his spot at a very crowded tight end position entering the final weeks of preseason play. The Bengals may opt to keep five tight ends, but Cam Grandy is someone who's already been on the 53-man roster and knows the offense well as primarily a blocking tight end. The Bengals clearly like Grandy, having continued to bring him back since he arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and signing him to another one-year extension in January. Endries has flashed in the passing game, but Grandy has already shown he can contribute at the NFL level.

Endries showed up in the first preseason game after a quiet camp, finishing with three catches for 25 yards and the Bengals' lone touchdown from Joe Flacco. He has been working on his blocking at Texas and with the Bengals, and while there is still work to be done, he has the chance to become a solid all-around tight end. The source states they are finding a way to keep Endries in any scenario given the interesting tight end roster battle.
