CVI Grade pending — contract details not yet available.
Low-risk depth addition with minimal immediate impact on roster construction. Multiple outlets covered the undrafted free agent signing, suggesting local interest in the Kentucky connection. Kattus returns home as an UDFA, indicating limited draft capital invested by Cincinnati. Fans view this as a camp body opportunity rather than a meaningful tight end competition threat. Unlikely to make the 53-man roster without strong preseason performance against established competition.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
