Season so far
Through just one contest in the 2026 season, it is still very early to establish a clear baseline for Mike Hughes, who posted a replacement-level 60.0 overall grade across 57 snaps in Week 3. His play was primarily defined by solid run defense that was undermined by erratic downfield coverage. He flashed excellent red-zone resilience against Green Bay, coming up with a key third-down tackle short of the line and a fourth-down pass breakup at the pylon. However, deep coverage proved costly, as he conceded a 45-yard vertical completion and committed a 34-yard pass interference penalty. Late in the fourth quarter, Hughes also conceded critical conversions by playing with excessive cushion.
