Footballguys on Matthew Hibner

Hibner's Week 5 hand injury sidelines him and reduces his path to playing time in Baltimore's TE room.

Fifth-round rookie tight end for Baltimore who appeared to have the edge over Josh Cuevas during training camp to be the team's third active tight end on game days. Through the first three weeks of the season, Hibner was on the field 39 percent of the time. However, Hibner injured his hand in Week 5 and missed Sunday's game against the Browns, opening the door for Cuevas to see increased playing time. Matt Waldman ranked Hibner TE17 in the 2026 rookie class, 10 spots behind Cuevas. The source suggests that by 2028, Hibner could be in a blocking role while Cuevas assumes the receiving role.
