Grandy (chest) and the Bengals agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy appeared in five contests during the regular season, catching both of his targets for seven yards while playing 28 snaps on offense. With Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample both under contract for 2026, Grandy will compete to operate as the team's No. 3 option at tight end next season.

Grandy (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Grandy logged a full session Friday and was listed as questionable. However, that wasn't enough to be cleared for game action, and he'll miss a second consecutive contest to end the campaign. The undrafted tight end will finish his second NFL season with two receptions for seven yards across 28 offensive snaps.

Grandy (chest) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy was able to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice after missing consecutive sessions earlier in the week. The upgrade in participation is a great sign for the tight end's chances of suiting up for Sunday's contest as a reserve option behind Mike Gesicki, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson.

Grandy (chest) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy has been unable to practice or play since sustaining a chest injury during the Bengals' Week 16 win over the Dolphins. He'll likely have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns.

Grandy (chest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old didn't practice all week after sustaining a chest injury in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. While Grandy is out for Week 17, expect Cincinnati's tight-end room to consist of Mike Gesicki, Noah Fant (ankle, questionable), Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson.

Grandy (chest) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy left the second half of last Sunday's win over the Dolphins due to an injury to his left collarbone. The tight end will have two more chances to attempt to upgrade his practice participation to attempt to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Grandy cannot upgrade his participation, he will likely be ruled out ahead of Sunday's game.

Grandy has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a left collarbone injury.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy may have picked up the injury during the second half of Sunday's game. The reserve tight end hauled in his lone target for a one-yard reception before departing.

Grandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy will hit the inactive list for the fifth time in eight games while the Bengals keep three tight ends active ahead of him for Sunday's contest. Over his three appearances this season, Grandy has recorded a six-yard reception on his lone target.

Grandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy will be a healthy scratch for Week 1 while the Bengals go with Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson as the backup tight ends behind Mike Gesicki. Grandy's next opportunity to see regular-season action is Week 2 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 14.

The Bengals inked Grandy to a one-year contract extension Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grandy suited up for eight regular-season games as an undrafted rookie with Cincinnati, and in that span he secured all five of his targets for 28 yards. Down the stretch, the former practice-squad player managed to carve out a consistent depth role. He's now earned an opportunity to continue his development in the Bengals' tight end corps heading into the 2025 season.
