Jack Endries

NFL player. Position: TE. Team: CIN.

Quick Facts

Position: TE
Team: CIN (Cincinnati Bengals)
Bye week (2026): 8
College: Cal/Texas

2026 Outlook

Tight end for the Bengals with strong receiving skills. Over three seasons at California and Texas, Endries caught 124 passes for 1,376 yards (11.1 yards per attempt) and seven touchdowns. At the NFL Combine, ran an impressive 4.62 40-yard dash for his position. The Bengals lack a truly elite tight end in the Joe Burrow era—current TEs Mike Gesicki, Tanner Hudson, and Drew Sample are all in their 30s, while Erick All Jr. hasn't played since his ACL injury in November 2024. Endries is not a great blocker but excels as a pass-catcher and provides a "safety net" option for the offense. Paired with a recovering Erick All, Endries represents the Bengals' transition to younger, more receiving-focused tight ends. Highly motivated—told reporters "I'm going to make every team that didn't draft me pay." (per Fantasy Football Rookie Sleepers)

Role / Depth Chart

Competing for snaps with ailing Erick All Jr. and aging veterans (Gesicki, Hudson, Sample). As a pass-catcher, he could see meaningful opportunities as a receiving option for Joe Burrow if All remains unavailable.

Injury Status

Healthy.
