Hudson faces roster spot pressure with Sample and Gesicki ahead on the depth chart, Erick All Jr. healthy, and seventh-round pick Jack Endries impressing. However, Hudson caught Johnson's second touchdown pass from the six-yard line in the second quarter, giving the Bengals a two-score lead; producing when on the field is critical for his roster security.

Tight end has been a proven pass-catcher for Joe Burrow; one of four established tight ends likely to secure a roster spot ahead of Endries and Grandy in Cincinnati's crowded position battle.

Hudson has been productive and earned the trust of the coaching staff, but Cincinnati's tight end room has significantly changed. Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample offer established veteran roles, Erick All Jr. is returning from ACL injury with potential, and rookie Jack Endries just had three catches and a touchdown against Detroit while impressing with blocking progress. The Bengals kept five tight ends in the latest post-preseason projection from Cincy Jungle, but that's hardly guaranteed. Keeping five means sacrificing a roster spot elsewhere, and Cincinnati has plenty of other positions where players are making legitimate cases. Hudson's veteran experience could ultimately win the day, but if the Bengals decide they can get enough receiving production from Gesicki and All while keeping Sample and Endries for their blocking and developmental value, Hudson could become expendable.

Hudson could be on the outs within a healthy Cincinnati Bengals tight end room. At 31 years old, Hudson faces competition from young players including Erick All Jr. (returning from ACL tear), Mike Gesicki (both at full strength), seventh-round draft pick Jack Endries, and Cam Grandy. All of these young players have shown serious promise and are solid to good blockers. The source notes Hudson has had memorable time in Cincinnati but there is a new wave of younger players coming in.

Hudson is identified as a potential cut candidate within the Cincinnati Bengals' tight end room. At 31 years old, Hudson faces competition from a stacked depth chart: Erick All Jr. (returning from 2024 ACL tear, missed all of 2025), Mike Gesicki (returning to full strength after missing four games in 2025), seventh-round draft pick Jack Endries, and young prospect Cam Grandy. The source notes that "All of these young guys have shown serious promise and most of them have the added benefit of being solid to good blockers as well," suggesting Hudson's veteran status and age work against him in a youth-focused rebuild.
