News

  • Staying in Cincinnati

    Hudson signed a one-year contract with the Bengals on Friday.

    Analysis: Hudson had a brief moment in the sun during the 2023 season, averaging 4.1 catches for 35.7 yards over a seven-game stretch, but Mike Gesicki then replaced him as Cincinnati's top pass-catching TE in 2024. Hudson finished last season with a 19-154-1 receiving line (23 targets) in 11 games, missing six weeks with two separate knee injuries. He turned 30 in November and likely will have to settle for a reserve role in 2025 even if the Bengals don't re-sign Gesicki.

  • Sparsely used

    Hudson played just three offensive snaps in the Bengals' season-ending win over the Steelers, catching one pass for 11 yards.

    Analysis: Hudson was squarely behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample at tight end on the Bengals' depth chart. He caught 19 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown over 11 games, falling off quite a bit from 2023 when he had more than twice as many targets. Gesicki stayed relatively healthy this season, as opposed to 2023, when Irv Smith's extended absences afforded Hudson more opportunity.

  • Good to go against Pittsburgh

    Hudson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Steelers after logging a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Hudson missed the Bengals' last two games due to a knee injury that he suffered against the Titans in Week 15. He had an LP/LP/FP practice squad this week, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to suit up for Saturday's regular-season finale. Hudson would serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki if Drew Sample (groin) is unable to play.

  • Deemed limited Tuesday

    Hudson (knee) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Hudson has missed Cincinnati's past two contests while dealing with a knee injury. Though the Bengals held a walkthrough Tuesday, Hudson's designation as limited is at least a step in the right direction, as he didn't practice at all last week. If Hudson can return to game action Saturday against Pittsburgh, he could get a bump in playing time, as fellow tight end Drew Sample was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday due to a groin injury.

  • Officially out Saturday

    Hudson (knee) will not play in Saturday's matchup with the Broncos.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Hudson was deemed doubtful for this contest due to a knee injury sustained in Week 15. As a result, Cam Grandy and Tanner McLachlan will be the depth tight end options for Cincinnati behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample.

  • Unlikely to play against Denver

    Hudson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Broncos after logging a DNP on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Hudson has been held out of practice since suffering a knee injury during the Bengals' Week 15 win over the Titans. Cam Grandy and Tanner McLachlan would serve as Cincinnati's depth tight ends behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample if Hudson is inactive Saturday.

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Hudson (knee) didn't participate in Cincinnati's practice Tuesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Hudson missed the team's Week 16 win over the Browns with a knee injury and is now in danger of missing another matchup. If he can't return to practice prior to Saturday's matchup versus the Broncos, he will likely be sidelined for a second straight week.

  • Ruled out versus Cleveland

    Hudson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Hudson played just five snaps last week against the Titans, catching his lone target for nine yards. The veteran tight end hasn't been playing heavy snaps, but he's proven to be a target-earner when on the field, securing 18 of 22 targets for 143 yards and one touchdown on the season despite playing just 115 offensive snaps. His absence leaves the Bengals with a tight end group of Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Cam Grandy and Tanner McLachlan.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Hudson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hudson was absent from Wednesday's practice report, so it appears the knee injury is a recent one. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Over his last six games, Hudson has caught 16 passes (on 18 targets) for 125 yards and one touchdown.

  • Makes 19-yard catch in Week 14

    Hudson played 14 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 19-yard catch in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Hudson saw the least amount of playing time of any of the four Bengals tight ends that were active for the contest, but he made perhaps two of the more impactful plays of the night. The 19-yard reception was Cincinnati's fifth-longest gain of the game and extended a fourth-quarter drive, and Hudson also hopped on a Joe Burrow fumble in Bengals territory on that same possession to spare his team a turnover.

  • Records four reception

    Hudson caught all four of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hudson played just 12 of the Bengals' 62 offensive snaps, trailing fellow tight ends Drew Sample (39) and Mike Gesicki (27). With that said, the 30-year-old Hudson was a favorite target for quarterback Joe Burrow during his time on the field. His four grabs and 28 yards were both his second-highest marks in both categories, highlighting his limited usage so far this season.

  • Targeted twice against Chargers

    Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hudson played just 11 percent of the Bengals' 82 offensive snaps Sunday, a substantial dip in snap share after he averaged a 26 percent snap share over Cincinnati's previous three contests. Operating as the No. 3 tight end behind teammates Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, Hudson has totaled just 12 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown across seven games this season. The 30-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar after the team's Week 12 bye when the Bengals' host the Steelers on Dec. 1.

  • Busy night in narrow loss

    Hudson brought in six of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The tight end finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the Bengals for the night, and he had two more catches than position mate Mike Gesicki on two fewer targets. Hudson had just recorded his first two catches since Week 1 in Sunday's win over the Raiders, so Thursday's numbers were season highs across the board and included his first touchdown of the campaign on a three-yard grab late in the first half. It's still difficult to trust Hudson's week-to-week involvement considering…read more

  • Two catches in win

    Hudson played 20 of the Bengals' 74 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 14 yards on three targets in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hudson recorded his first pair of receptions since Week 1 and benefited from more snaps than usual in part due to rookie tight end Erick All (knee) sustaining what was ultimately determined to be a season-ending ACL tear during the contest. With All out of the mix, Hudson could continue to see a slightly elevated role as the Bengals' No. 2 pass-catching tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

  • Gets few snaps in return

    Hudson (knee) failed to draw a target while playing four of the Bengals' 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Hudson had been inactive for each of the Bengals' previous four games while he managed a knee injury, but he was removed from Cincinnati's injury report for Week 6 and made his return from a month-long absence Sunday. He was one of four tight ends that the Bengals made active Sunday and finished well behind Drew Sample (26 snaps), Erick All (23 snaps) and Mike Gesicki (19 snaps) in terms of playing time.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Hudson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Hudson was a full participant at each practice during Week 5 prep and didn't have an injury designation. However, the reserve tight end will remain sidelined for a fourth straight game. Tanner McLachlan (coach's decision) is also inactive, so Mike Gesicki, Erick All and Drew Sample are the Bengals' active tight ends versus Baltimore.

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Hudson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Hudson has been sidelined since Week 1 due to a knee injury, but it appears the 29-year-old will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Ravens. He played 22 snaps (nine on offense, 13 on special teams) and caught two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards in Week 1. It's unclear how Hudson will fit into the offense, especially with backups Erick All and Drew Sample both seeing more snaps than starter Mike Gesicki in Week 4 against the Panthers.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Hudson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hudson hasn't played since Week 1 with the injury, despite being active in Week 2, nor did he practice this week. In his absence, Erick All and Drew Sample will continue to see extra snaps behind Mike Gesicki.

  • Questionable to face Carolina

    Hudson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hudson has been sidelined since the Week 1 opener versus New England. In his absence, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and rookie Erick All have claimed tight end duties in Cincinnati. If Hudson is cleared to play Sunday, it's unclear how much action he'll see on offense.

  • Still sidelined

    Hudson (knee) did not practice Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hudson has been sidelined for over a week and wasn't active for the Bengals' Week 3 loss to the Commanders. Additionally, although he was active for Week 2, he never logged a snap. The Southern Arkansas product will likely need to get on the practice field Friday in some capacity to have any chance of playing Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Estimated as DNP

    Hudson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hudson missed the Bengals' Week 3 loss to the Commanders due to a knee injury, and it appears he's still dealing with the issue. The 29-year-old tight end will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 4, as the Bengals travel to Carolina.

  • Won't play vs. Washington

    Hudson (knee) did not practice Saturday and has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hudson wasn't able to practice all week due to a knee injury, and his next chance at suiting up will be against the Panthers on Sept. 29. Erick All will step up as the No. 3 tight end for the Bengals on Monday behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample.

  • Absent from Friday's practice

    Hudson (knee) was a DNP for Friday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hudson has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and he'll have one more opportunity Saturday to improve his practice participation ahead of the Bengals' Week 3 matchup against the Commanders. If Hudson is unable to play Monday, then Erick All would slide into the No. 3 tight end spot behind Mike Gesicki (calf) and Drew Sample.

  • Not over injury

    Hudson (knee) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Hudson has been dealing with a knee injury since preparation for Week 2 began. Although he ultimately suited up Sunday against the Chiefs, he never got on the field and was likely only available as an emergency option. With the Bengals not playing until Monday against the Commanders, he'll have an extra day to recover for the Week 3 matchup, although even if he is active, there's no guarantee he'll see the field.

  • Not involved in loss

    Hudson failed to record a single offensive snap in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Despite dealing with a knee injury heading into Week 2, Hudson was active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The veteran, however, was not involved in the contest while Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Erick All handled tight end duties. Assuming he is ready and available for Week 3, Hudson should continue to see limited action in the Bengals' offense in a matchup with the Commanders.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Hudson (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Hudson managed just one limited session (Thursday) during Week 2 prep due to a knee injury, and his doubtful designation on the Bengals' last practice report Friday forecast that he'd be unavailable. Having said that, the Bengals are keeping him active, which Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com speculates may be because Hudson is the team's emergency long snapper.

  • Doubtful for Week 2

    Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Hudson (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hudson practiced in a limited capacity Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session, but it looks like he's facing long odds to suit up Sunday. An absence by Hudson would pave the way for Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample to handle increased snaps in Cincinnati's tight end rotation.

  • Limited in Thursday's practice

    Hudson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hudson was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report, so his limited activity Thursday represents a step in the right direction. The rotational tight end will have one more chance to upgrade his activity level at Friday's practice, with the goal of gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs.

    Hudson won't participate in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hudson caught two of his three targets for 18 yards during Cincinnati's loss to the Patriots in Week 1, but he looks to have picked up a knee injury along the way. The knee issue might have played a part in Hudson logging just nine offensive snaps Week 1, less than fellow tight ends Drew Sample (27) and Mike Gesicki (18). However, it's also possible that Hudson's playing time will lag behind the other two players even if he's able to move past the knee injury ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas…read more

  • Three targets against New England

    Hudson caught two of his three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Hudson was on the field for just nine of the Bengals 51 offensive snaps Sunday, playing well behind Drew Sample (27) and Mike Gesicki (18). Despite the limited playing time, the 29-year-old's three targets were just one fewer than that of Gesicki, who is likely the preferred pass-catching tight end in Cincinnati. Going forward, Hudson should find it very difficult to see consistent usage as the Bengals' third tight end, keeping him off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup with the…read more

  • Sticking with Cincinnati

    Hudson is re-signing with the Bengals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hudson spent much of last season on Cincinnati's practice squad but eventually emerged as the top pass catcher at tight end amidst a disappointing season for free-agent acquisition Irv Smith (who has since moved on to Kansas City). The Bengals signed Mike Gesicki and re-signed Drew Sample earlier this week, ensuring Hudson will again have to fight for his playing time. Sample figures to do a lot of the blocking, likely leaving Hudson and Gesicki to compete for slot work and playing time in…read more

  • Records career-best season

    Hudson finished with 39 catches for 352 yards and one touchdown in 12 games for the Bengals in 2023.

    Analysis: All those numbers were career highs as Hudson finished the season as Cincinnati's top tight end. The fifth-year pro will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. The Bengals do not yet have any tight ends under contract for 2024.

  • Held to three catches

    Hudson recorded three catches on seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hudson tied for the team lead in targets with Ja'Marr Chase, matching his season high. However, that didn't lead to a big performance, as the Bengals' offense struggled to move the ball for much of the game. Despite seeing at least four targets in seven of his last nine games, Hudson has failed to surpass 50 receiving yards in that span.

    Hudson caught one of his two targets for five yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hudson handled his highest snap share of the season Saturday, playing 50 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. Despite the increased playing time, the veteran played fewer snaps (32) than fellow tight end Drew Sample (35). Additionally, the latter was more involved in the passing game with three catches on three targets for 38 yards. With limited usage while splitting time between not only Sample but also Irv Smith and Mitchell Wilcox, Hudson's fantasy utility could remain limited as the…read more

    Hudson had five catches for 49 yards on five targets in Saturday's overtime win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Hudson had 25 offensive snaps in the win, equaling his total from the two previous weeks. He's become the primary pass-catching tight end option for the Bengals.

    Hudson put the Bengals ahead Sunday in the third quarter of their win against the Colts with a short touchdown catch and netted two catches for 21 yards on the three targets.

    Analysis: Hudson's snap share has decreased after peaking at 36 percent in Week 11, but he still found a way to make an impact Sunday. He had just 13 offensive snaps versus Indianapolis.

  • Notches four receptions in loss

    Hudson played 13 of the Bengals' 43 snaps on offense and finished with four catches for 18 yards on five targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: The Bengals opened with Drew Sample (one catch for an 11-yard touchdown) and Mitchell Wilcox (one catch for one yard) as their starting tight ends, but Hudson ended up outproducing both players as well as Irv Smith (two catches for eight yards) in terms of pure volume in the passing game. Hudson looks to be Cincinnati's top pass-catching tight end, but his ceiling is limited by him having to share snaps with three other options at the position as well as having the relatively unproven Jake…read more

  • Six grabs in loss

    Hudson secured six of seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Hudson's seven targets were his most of the season and led all Bengals tight ends. Three of Cincinnati's tight ends split the playing time in fairly even fashion Week 10, with Hudson, Irv Smith and Drew Sample playing 20, 21 and 23 snaps, respectively. With 12 targets over the Bengals' past two games, Hudson appears to be the most fantasy-friendly option among the three tight ends in question, though his upside is still relatively modest while he shares snaps.

    Hudson had four catches for 45 yards on five targets in Sunday night's win over the Bills.

    Analysis: This production came completely out of the blue from Hudson, as he had been inactive the three previous games and only signed from the practice squad on Wednesday. But the Bengals got production from all three tight ends in the passing game, seeing an opening against the Bills.

  • Joins Cincy's 53-man roster

    The Bengals signed Hudson off their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hudson was elevated from the practice squad in Weeks 3 and 4 while Irv Smith dealt with a hamstring injury, and the 6-foot-5 tight end held his own with four catches for 48 yards on six targets between those two games. The 30 receiving yards Hudson compiled Week 3 are more than Smith has had in any game this season. Smith also lost a fumble in this past Sunday's win over the 49ers, so perhaps Hudson can carve out a sizable pass-catching role if the Cincinnati coaching staff is unhappy with…read more

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Hudson reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Hudson caught both of his targets for 18 yards during the Bengals' loss to the Titans on Sunday while helping fill in for Irv Smith (hamstring). The 28-year-old led all Cincinnati tight ends in snaps and could get called up again for the Week 5 game against the Cardinals if Smith is forced to miss time.

  • Joins active roster

    The Bengals elevated Hudson to their active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: This marks the second week in a row that Hudson has been promoted from the team's practice squad. He filled in Week 3 against the Rams with Irv Smith (hamstring) ruled out and finished as the top pass-catching tight end with two catches on four targets for 30 yards. He played 36 offensive snaps in Week 3, more than fellow tight ends Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox, and could see that same usage against the Titans on Sunday, with Smith being ruled out for the second straight week.

  • Reverts to Bengals' practice squad

    Hudson reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad after Monday's 19-16 win versus the Rams.

    Analysis: With regular starter Irv Smith (hamstring) out, Hudson came up from the practice squad to serve as Cincinnati's top pass-catching tight end in Week 3, hauling in two of four targets for 30 yards. He actually played more snaps (36) than Drew Sample (34) and Mitchell Wilcox (32), so if Smith remains out for Week 4 at Tennessee, expect Hudson to get called up again.

  • Joins active roster Monday

    The Bengals elevated Hudson from their practice squad to their active roster ahead of Monday's game versus the Rams.

    Analysis: With Irv Smith (hamstring) doubtful for Week 3, Cincinnati saw fit to bring up another option at tight end. He's behind Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox on the depth chart, but those players are better blockers than pass catchers, so Hudson could be further up in line for targets than meets the eye.

  • Brought back by Bengals

    The Bengals signed Hudson to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hudson has bounced around the league in four professional seasons, though he's coming off his best year in 2022 when he posted 10 receptions for 132 yards with the Giants. The Bengals have a deep skill-position group overall but are thin at tight end, so Hudson could see time with the team at some point in 2023.

  • Exits with concussion

    Hudson exited Friday's exhibition contest against the Packers after suffering a concussion and will not return.

    Analysis: Hudson was seeing plenty of action prior to the injury, as he had accumulated four receptions for 29 yards before exiting late in the second quarter. He will now need to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to practice going forward. The fifth-year tight end is competing for a depth role with the club this year.

    The Bengals signed Hudson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

He made 11 straight appearances for New York to start the season, totaling 10 receptions on 15 targets for 132 yards across 244 offensive snaps, but he was never elevated to Cincinnati's active roster. With his new contract, the fourth-year tight end will get to stick around the Bengals' organization and compete for a roster spot next season.

    Hudson caught all three of his targets for 24 yards Sunday in a 24-16 victory against Houston.

    Analysis: Hudson tied for the team lead with three catches and finished third with 24 receiving yards in the victory. The Giants continue to take a run-first approach, as Daniel Jones attempted only 17 passes, and his 13 completions were spread fairly evenly among six different pass catchers. Five of Hudson's eight catches this season have come in New York's past two games, but his role may be reduced in Week 11 if Daniel Bellinger (eye) is able to return.

    Hudson caught three of five targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: With Daniel Bellinger sidelined due to a fractured eye socket, Hudson stepped up as the Giants' top receiving option at tight end, while Chris Myarick caught the only pass thrown his way for 10 yards. With the Giants on bye next week, Bellinger might have enough time to recover and return to action, but if he remains out Hudson could have some deep-league appeal in Week 10 against the Texans.

    Analysis: The pair of receptions were Hudson's first since the 2020 campaign, when he recorded a 3-41-0 receiving line on seven targets over 11 games for the Buccaneers. Rookie Daniel Bellinger remains the Giants' top tight end, but with snap shares barely north of 50 percent in both of his first two games, he's not necessarily entrenched atop the depth chart.

    Analysis: The athletic tight end paced the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, turning in an impressive performance that followed some strong work in training camp practices to date. Hudson is fighting to win the No. 4 tight end job, and he took advantage of the fact that Cameron Brate was held out of action Saturday night to make a solid case for himself.

The backup tight end has hauled in three of his seven targets for 41 yards during his second season with the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Hudson has now garnered active status in every game from Week 2 onward, although that's only led to a 2-21 line on a total of six targets. Coach Bruce Arians continues to roll with four active tight ends on most weeks, but Hudson and position mate Antony Auclair are primarily being used in a run-blocking capacity with both Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate healthy in front of them.

    Hudson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: The big tight end logged just three snaps from scrimmage, so his lack of statistics was unsurprising. Hudson is a distant third in the positional pecking order behind Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate, and the recent activation of Antony Auclair could also serve to frequently render Hudson a gameday inactive in coming weeks.

    Hudson brought in his only target for a 12-yard reception in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: The towering tight end made an impressive grab on his one catch, his second of the season overall. Hudson played on just two snaps from scrimmage overall, however, although that was only 10 fewer than position mate Cameron Brate, the player directly above him on the depth chart. Hudson does have an intriguing size/athleticism combination, so it remains to be seen if he makes a legitimate run at Brate's No. 2 role at some point during the second half of the season.

    Hudson (concussion) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

  • Suffers possible concussion

    Hudson left Sunday's game against the Lions to be evaluated for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The injury was announced in the latter stages of the fourth quarter, so Hudson may not be able to return regardless of whether he has a concussion. The 25-year-old caught his lone target for 14 yards prior to leaving the game.

  • Makes first career catch

    Hudson brought in one of two targets for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hudson was active for a second straight week with O.J. Howard (hamstring) inactive again, and he was able to tally his first career grab. The athletic tight end actually out-targeted Cameron Brate, who logged only 11 snaps while still struggling with a rib injury. However, Hudson could be back to inactive status in Week 10 versus the Cardinals if Howard is able to return to action as expected.
