News

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Hill logged a limited session Friday and will continue his perfect attendance during the 2025 campaign. In 16 games, Hill has recorded 58 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

  • Questionable with ankle

    Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Hill upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. The defensive tackle has yet to miss a game this year despite battling a persistent ankle injury since Dec. 17, so his chances to suit up Sunday are quite high. If the 30-year-old must miss the last game of the season, McKinnley Jackson would likely see an increased amount of defensive snaps at defensive tackle alongside T.J. Slaton.

  • DNP to open Week 18 prep

    Hill (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hill has managed to play through an ankle injury during each of the Bengals' last two games, accruing four tackles (two solo) over that span. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week, but given his ability to play Weeks 16 and 17, he should be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns.

  • Will play vs. Arizona

    Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hill has been working through an ankle injury over the past two weeks, but the veteran defensive lineman has been able to play through the issue. He has logged 20 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the six games since the Bengals' Week 10 bye.

  • Questionable to face Cardinals

    Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Hill began Week 17 prep listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he managed to upgrade to limited reps Friday. The veteran defensive tackle's status will be made official approximately 90 minutes in advance of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • DNP Wednesday

    Hill (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Hill missed consecutive practices to start Week 16 due to his ankle issue, but was able to upgrade to a limited participant Friday and play in last Sunday's win over the Dolphins. If the same timeline is to be assumed for the veteran defensive tackle, he is likely on pace to play in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

  • Good to go Week 16

    Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's battle against Miami.

    Analysis: Hill began Week 16 prep with consecutive DNPs due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to take the field Sunday and avoid missing his first game of the campaign. Hill should thus be able to take on his usual starting role along the defensive line, which typically leads to a defensive snap share between 60 and 80 percent.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hill managed to log a limited practice Friday, which constituted his only practice participation of the week. The defensive tackle played just 25 snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, indicating the fresh ankle injury may have had something to do with his absence. With just one limited practice under his belt it is unclear if the 30-year-old will be able to suit up. If Hill is unable to play, McKinnley Jackson and Jordan Jefferson would be in line for an increased defensive snap share in…read more

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Hill (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hill played a season-low 25 defensive snaps in Week 15 versus the Ravens, and now his availability for Week 16 is in jeopardy due to a problem with his ankle. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of playing Sunday at Miami.

  • Notches sack in Week 1

    Hill tallied seven total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old defensive lineman had a particularly timely sack on Joe Flacco in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, as that six-yard loss led to a missed field-goal from Andre Szmyt that would have given the Browns the lead. Hill remained productive throughout the Bengals' Week 1 win, logging seven total stops while playing on just 61 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses as the Bengals take on the Jaguars in Week 2.

  • Full go for Week 1

    Hill (foot) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hill was dealing with a foot injury throughout training camp and the preseason, but he is now all set to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Cleveland. The 30-year-old is expected to operate as one of the team's starters at defensive tackle to open the 2025 campaign.

  • Still not practicing

    Hill (foot) is not participating in Sunday's practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Hill has been limited since the start of training camp due to what was initially labeled a precautionary foot injury. He didn't suit up for Cincinnati's preseason opener, and it remains to be seen whether he'll be available for the team's second preseason clash on Monday, Aug. 18 against the Commanders.

  • Limited as precaution

    Hill (foot) will be limited to start camp for precautionary reasons, coach Zac Taylor said Monday, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hill had a walking boot on for voluntary workouts in May. He seems to have progressed in his recovery since then, but the Bengals have little reason to rush the veteran defensive tackle's return with the regular season over a month away.

  • Spotted with boot

    Hill (foot) was spotted with a boot on his left foot at the Bengals' voluntary workouts Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Inks new deal

    Hill signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Bengals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Posts solid 2024 campaign

    Hill tallied 56 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended four passes over 15 games in 2024.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Logs first sack of season

    Hill logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 44-38 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: 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.

  • All set for SNF

    Hill (knee) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Chargers.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Hill (knee) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Logs limited practice in return

    Hill (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Misses practice with knee injury

    Hill didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The knee issue is a new one for the veteran defensive tackle, who was tending to a rib injury ahead of last Thursday's loss to the Ravens. Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson would be next up for snaps if Hill needs to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers.

  • Good to go vs. Baltimore

    Hill (ribs) is not on the Bengals' inactive list for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Questionable for Thursday night

    Hill (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Hill upgraded to limited participation Wednesday after logging a DNP on Tuesday, suggesting he could be trending toward playing in Thursday night's divisional matchup. However, if the 29-year-old defensive tackle is unable to suit up in Week 10, expect Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson to see increased work with Cincinnati's first-team defense.

  • Leaves with ribs injury

    Hill exited Sunday's game against the Raiders with a ribs injury and will not return.

    Analysis: Sheldon Rankins, Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson will handle defensive tackle duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest. Sam Hubbard is also capable of kicking inside.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Hill (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens and is expected to play, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Hill has been sidelined since going down 14 snaps into Week 2 against the Chiefs, but his Week 5 return will be a big boost to Cincinnati's struggling defense. His return could bump rookie DT Kris Jenkins out of the rotation up front.

  • Ruled out

    Hill (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hill was considered doubtful for the matchup, so his game status doesn't come as too much of a surprise. With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) also out, the Bengals will be depleted in the middle of their defensive line. Zachary Carter, Jay Tufele and Kris Jenkins will all likely need to step up there against the Carolina.

  • Doubtful to face Carolina

    Hill (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday and Hill doubtful, Zachary Carter, Jay Tufele and rookie Kris Jenkins will again likely pace the Bengals' interior defensive line in snaps against Carolina after that was the case last Monday night versus Washington, when both Rankins and Hill were inactive.

  • Inactive against Washington

    Hill (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against Washington.

    Analysis: Hill was listed as doubtful, so this isn't a surprise. With Sheldon Rankins also out with a hamstring injury, the Bengals were forced to sign veteran DT Lawrence Guy to team with Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter on the interior of the defensive line.

  • Unlikely to play Monday

    Hill (hamstring) didn't practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bill picked up the hamstring injury during Cincinnati's Week 2 loss to Kansas City. The 2018 third-round pick wasn't able to practice in any capacity all week, making him unlikely to suit up for Monday's contest. With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) already ruled out, backups Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter will step into the starting defensive tackle jobs while Lawrence Guy will serve in a rotational depth role, if Hill ends up being ruled out.

  • Doesn't practice Friday

    Hill (hamstring) did not participate in Friday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hill sustained the hamstring injury in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. He opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and he'll have one more chance Saturday to practice in some capacity ahead of Monday's game against the Commanders. Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) has also been held out of practice, and if neither he nor Hill can play, then Zachary Carter and Jay Tufele would step up as the starting defensive tackles for Monday's contest.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Hill (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 game against Kansas City.

    Analysis: Hill exited in the second quarter of Sunday's contest while grabbing at his left hamstring, and he's since been ruled out for the remainder of the game. His departure is a big blow to a depleted Bengals defensive line. Zachary Carter has stepped in for Hill against the Chiefs, while Jay Tufele has entered for Sheldon Rankins, who went down with an injury in the third quarter.

  • Leaves game with hamstring injury

    Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Hill registered one tackle before exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Jay Tufele or Zachary Carter will see additional snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter Sheldon Rankins while Hill is sidelined.

  • Makes two interceptions in 2023

    Hill racked up 51 tackles (26 solo), 4.5 sacks, five pass breakups, two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Hill ended the 2023 campaign with less tackles than in 2022, but he made noise elsewhere by tallying the first two interceptions of his NFL career. His two big-man INTs came against Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew and Vikings signal-caller Nick Mullens. Hill remains a reliable starter heading into his age-29 season, but the Bengals have some cap decisions to make, so his contract stands out as a potential restructure.

  • Key interception

    Hill had a key interception in the second half of the Bengals' win over the Colts in Week 14.

    Analysis: Teammate Trey Hendrickson hit Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew as he was throwing, and Hill made a diving catch off of the subsequent deflection. Overall, Hill has 31 tackles on the season and is on pace for fewer tackles than the last two years, but he has the interception, four sacks and four deflected passes.

  • Notches career-high 68 tackles

    Hill recorded a career-high 68 tackles and added three sacks and three fumble recoveries over 16 games during the regular season. The defensive tackle notched an additional nine tackles and one sack over the Bengals' three playoff games.

    Analysis: The Bengals have netted a big profit in acquiring Hill from the Giants in advance of the 2021 season. He played a career-high 785 defensive snaps in 2022 and will remain a starting tackle for the Bengals as he heads into the second season of a three-year, $30 million deal in 2023.

  • Staying in Cincinnati

    Hill agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Bengals on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Hill was traded to the Bengals ahead of the 2021 campaign and totaled 50 tackles (29 solo) and 5.5 sacks across 16 appearances. The 2018 third-round pick figures to be a key piece along the Bengals' defensive front over the next three seasons.

  • Clears COVID-19 list

    Hill (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Hill was one of seven Bengals players to be removed from COVID-19 protocols Monday. During his first season with the Bengals, the defensive lineman has totaled 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks across 16 appearances. He will look to build off his solid 2022 campaign by getting after Derek Carr during Cincinnati's wild-card matchup with the Raiders on Saturday.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Hill was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hill will now enter the league's protocols surrounding the virus, making it unlikely that he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns. If the defensive tackle is unable to play, Josh Tupou and Tyler Shelvin could end seeing an increase in snaps.

  • Impacting pass rush

    Hill leads the Bengals in sacks with three so far while rotating in their defensive line, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports. The Bengals are on pace to get 47 sacks, 166 pressures, and 51 QB knockdowns (projected stats are from PFF.com), as opposed to the 17, 111 and 55, respectively, they had last season.

    Analysis: So far the trade that netted Hill from the Giants for Billy Price has worked out really well for the Bengals. Hill is difficult to rely upon in IDP leagues because he has roughly a 35 percent snap share. That rotation probably helps keep him fresher for pass rush situations, however.

  • Traded to Bengals

    The Giants traded Hill to Cincinnati in exchange for Billy Price on Monday,Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Hill played in all 16 games for the Giants last season, tallying 32 tackles and one sack. Hill was likely acquired by the Bengals to fill the depth role at defensive end that has been opened due to rookie Joseph Ossai's possible season-ending knee injury.

  • Stats take a hit in 2019

    Hill recorded 36 tackles (15 solo) and one sack across 16 contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Hill's numbers dwindled across the board compared to his rookie campaign, resulting in him being downgraded to a rotational/reserve gig down the stretch. The 2018 third-round pick will compete to retake a key role in 2020.
