Hill (foot) was spotted with a boot on his left foot at the Bengals' voluntary workouts Tuesday , Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Hill signed a three-year contract with the Bengals in March after posting 56 total tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed over 15 regular-season games with the team in 2024. The defensive tackle is now dealing with an unspecified left foot injury and it's unclear if it'll cause him to miss Cincinnati's OTAs later this month.
Hill signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Bengals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Hill will stay in Cincinnati, signing a new deal before the start of free agency. The NC State product is coming off another solid campaign, tallying 56 combined tackles, including 3.0 sacks and four passes defended. Hill will now remain a focal point of the Bengals' defensive interior moving forward.
Hill tallied 56 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended four passes over 15 games in 2024. Hill was one of the Bengals' defensive bright spots this season, recording the second-most tackles and passes defended in a single season of his career. The 29-year-old has now completed the final season of a three-year, $30 million deal signed with the Bengals in 2022, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Bengals' decision to spend a second-round pick on Kris Jenkins and a third-round pick on McKinnley Jackson in 2024 likely suggests that they are prepared to let Hill walk in free agency. Expect the veteran defensive tackle to attract significant interest on the free-agent market this offseason.
Hill logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 44-38 loss to Pittsburgh. It took until Week 13 for Hill to register his first sack of the 2024 regular season, as he got to Russell Wilson for a four-yard loss late in the fourth quarter that forced the Steelers to settle for a 30-yard field goal by Chris Boswell. Through 10 games, Hill has logged 36 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defensed.
Hill (knee) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Chargers. Hill was limited at practice during the week with a knee injury, but he's now all set to be in his starting role at defensive tackle versus Los Angeles. Hill has compiled 27 total tackles (13 solo) and four passes defensed over eight games in 2024.
Hill (knee) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hill returned to practice Thursday after logging a DNP on Wednesday. He closed the week with a pair of limited sessions, putting Hill on track to potentially give it a go versus Los Angeles. On the season, Hill has 27 tackles (13 solo), including two TFLs, and four pass deflections.
Hill (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hill was unable to practice Wednesday due to a knee issue that he may have sustained during the Bengals' Week 10 loss to the Ravens. The veteran defensive tackle has managed to play through multiple injuries this season, so if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday.
Hill (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. It's a new injury for the veteran defensive tackle, as Hill was dealing with a ribs issue headed into last Thursday night's game against Baltimore. Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson would be next up for snaps should Hill need to miss more time.
Hill (ribs) is not on the Bengals' inactive list for Thursday night's game against the Ravens. Hill injured his ribs during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. He was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, and despite operating on a short week, Hill will suit up for Thursday's AFC North showdown. The 2018 third-round pick has logged 23 tackles (10 solo) and four pass breakups over seven regular-season games.
