Bengals TE Tanner Hudson Suffers Pectoral Tear

Tanner Hudson ’s 2026 season has likely come to an end. The veteran tight end has suffered a pectoral tear, per his agent ( as first noted by Charlie Clifford of WLWT ). ESPN’s Ben Baby confirms Hudson is expected to miss the remainder of the year as a result of the injury. His absence will deal a blow to Cincinnati’s offense in general and tight end depth in particular. The Bengals’ special teams units will also be shorthanded moving forward. 2026 marks Hudson’s fourth season with Cincinnati.
