The team elevated Yeast for the game in Miami. The Bengals previously elevated Yeast from the practice squad earlier this season as the club managed defensive back depth.

Placing Hudson on the reserve/injured list removes a depth option at tight end who had been available via practice squad elevation. Elevating Yeast gives the Bengals an additional defensive-back option for the game in Miami and preserves flexibility in the secondary. These adjustments reflect routine in-season roster management as Cincinnati balances short-term needs and game-day availability.
