That's correct. They could have elevated Hudson a 3rd time then sent him back to the practice squad after the game against the Bills. If they wanted to elevate Hudson a 4th time for the Houston game, he would then need to be signed to the 53 man roster. They didnt do that. It looks like they plan on keeping Hudson around for a few games so they didnt use the 3rd practice team call up. They went ahead and signed him to the 53 man roster.
In the future, if the Bengals want Hudson back on the practice squad they would need to cut him, have him clear waivers then they could sign him to the practice squad again. At that point they could elevate him another 3 times from the practice squad as being re-signed to the practice squad resets the 3 elevations rule.
