Seems that Burrow is excited about Hudson being elevated to the 53.

Quote:CINCINNATI — The Bengals signed tight end Tanner Hudson to their active roster on Wednesday morning.

The 28-year-old has four receptions for 48 yards in two games this season. He's spent the first eight weeks of the year on Cincinnati's practice squad.

Joe Burrow believes Hudson will give the Bengals another weapon on offense.

"He brings an element that is exciting," Burrow said on Wednesday. "He's tough, hard working, really good in the pass game, really good pass catcher, good after the catch. He's gonna bring an element that we're excited about."


Hudson joins fellow tight ends Irv Smith Jr., Drew Sample and Mitch Wilcox on the 53-man roster.

"It’s a good addition. He’s earned it," head coach Zac Taylor said. "Sometimes the roster just shakes out the way it shakes out, but he has continued to put his head down and work every day in practice. He makes plays on the scout teams. He’s done a great job in-line blocking, does a great job route running. He’s earned an opportunity to get up. It’s more about maybe him than anything else just earning that opportunity. That’s the right way to reward guys when it makes sense."


It's fair to expect him to be active on Sunday night against the Bills. Will the other three tight ends be active?

That's a question the Bengals will have to figure out between now and Sunday night.
