Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor expressed trust in rookie tight end Jack Endries ahead of their game against the Tennessee Titans on November 1. Endries, selected in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL draft, is expected to take on a larger role due to injuries in the tight end position. Tanner Hudson is out for the season with a pectoral injury, and Erick All Jr. recently suffered a torn ACL. Endries has not made a reception in three games but has impressed the coaching staff with his preparation and ability to learn multiple offensive responsibilities. The Bengals have also added Cam Grandy from the Vikings' practice squad to support the position group.
