With Tyler Kroft, C.J. Uzomah, and Tyler Eifert all in contract years and Eifert being a constant injury concern, the Bengals decided to keep four tight ends, including 2017 seventh-round pick Mason Schreck on the 53-man roster.
After spending his rookie season on Injured/Reserve, Schreck led the team in receiving this preseason with nine receptions for 118 yards. His performance, specifically from the final two games, showed that he is a versatile target in the passing game, who can also hold his own as a blocker.
