Hudson's agent revealed Tuesday that the tight end sustained a torn pectoral in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Charlie Clifford of WLWT News 5 Cincinnati reports.
Hudson will presumably need surgery to address the pec tear and is likely to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days. Though he didn't win a spot on the Bengals' initial 53-man roster coming out of the preseason, Hudson was elevated from the practice squad for two of the team's firs three games before getting signed to the roster Sept. 29. Over his four appearances with Cincinnati, the reserve tight end tallied seven catches for 33 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.

Paul Dehner of The Athletic relays that Hudson's chances of making the Bengals' 53-man roster improved dramatically due to his performance in Thursday's 34-27 preseason loss to the Eagles.
Hudson got an extended run during Thursday's preseason opener due to the absences of Mike Gesicki, Noah Fant and Erick All. Though Hudson wasn't the starter, he ended up playing 39 snaps, including 24 on offense, and he took advantage of his playing time to finish with six catches on eight targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns. Despite the addition of Fant, Hudson is making a strong case for himself to make the Bengals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp as a backup tight end.
