Bengals TE Tanner Hudson on his fumble: "Just didn't feel like anybody was around me... One of those that's gonna hurt for a little bit."

Hudson caught the ball in the middle of the defense, multiple players were near him.  He is a practice squad player on any other team.

The way he was moving his arm after making the catch was weird.
Like flailing it out there begging for someone to smack the ball out.
Uncharacteristic of him compared to last year.

With that said, I think he proved last year he deserves to be on a 53.
He can be a solid lower-end or backup receiving TE.
He needs to prove though that yesterday's game was an anomaly, not a trend, as he may find himself expendable or inactive in favor of the younger McLachlan if he's not careful. The leash for things like that should just be about 3-4 games this year.

You may wanna look around all the other teams' TE depth charts, as I'm fairly confident you'll find plenty of teams with worse backup receiving TEs than him.
