The Bengals elevated Hudson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Hudson was elevated for the Bengals' Week 1 win over the Buccaneers, playing six offensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps in the contest and catching his sole target for four yards. The tight end should fill a similar role in Sunday's game against the Steelers, providing special teams coverage alongside a minimal offensive snap share.
