Quiet in blowout loss
Hill recorded two tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 48-10 loss at Minnesota.
Analysis: Coming off back-to-back big games in the tackle column, Hill was only able to make two stops in Week 3. The Bengals' defensive backfield had to be reshuffled with Cam Taylor-Britt out with a hamstring injury, which could at least partially explain the drop in production. Hill still projects as a viable IDP option in Week 4 at Denver.

Huge IDP day
Hill had nine more tackles, including one for a loss, and a big interception early in the Bengals' win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill was a standout performer on a day where the Bengals often lacked standout performers. They had just two tackles for losses, the other on a sack by Trey Hendrickson. He's been instrumental in keeping the Bengals competitive on the defensive side of the ball in their first two games after missing most of 2024 with an ACL tear.

Records nine stops Week 1
Hill finished Sunday's 17-16 win against Cleveland with nine tackles (five solo).
Analysis: Hill was productive in racking up tackles, finishing third on Cincinnati in that category. The fourth-year cornerback logged 74 of the Bengals' 76 defensive snaps and looked healthy after missing the final 12 regular-season games last year due to an ACL tear.

Playing vs. Washington
Hill (knee) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hill appears to have fully recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in October of 2024. He was sidelined for the Bengals' preseason opener against the Eagles, but he has been given the green light to play in Cincinnati's second exhibition contest.

Out for first preseason game
Hill (knee) won't play in the first preseason game against Philadelphia Thursday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Analysis: While on track to play Week 1 after tearing his ACL last October, the Bengals are being cautious with their starting slot cornerback. Hill has been fully participating in team drills the past two weeks, which is a great sign for a pass defense that struggled the majority of the last season. The 24-year-old is hoping to regain the form he had in 2023, where he started all 17 games and recorded two interceptions.

Increasing reps
Hill (knee) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Charlie Clifford of WLWT NBC-5 Cincinnati reports.
Analysis: Hill was cleared to return to team drills last week, and the 2022 first-rounder got a heavy workload during Monday's session. He looks to be fully recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 5 of last season, and he is on track to play in the Bengals' regular-season opener against the Browns on Sept. 7.

Active in team drills
Hill (knee) participated in the Bengals' team drills on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily Newsreports.
Analysis: Hill missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL in Week 5. The team is taking a cautious approach as the 24-year-old was cleared to participate in individual drills Wednesday. The 2022 first-round pick and converted safety is poised to open the year as the team's starting slot corner with Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner positioned on the boundary.

On track for season opener
Hill (knee) has been cleared to participate in individual drills, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Hill's 2024 season was cut short in early October after he tore the ACL in his right knee against the Ravens in Week 5.

Fifth-year option picked up
Hill (knee) had his fifth-year option on his rookie contract picked up for $12.682 million by the Bengals on Tuesday, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Hill was set to enter the final year of his contract with Cincinnati, but he'll now stick around through the 2026 campaign. The cornerback was limited to just five contests in 2024, suffering a torn ACL in his right knee in Week 5 versus the Ravens. Hill racked up 25 total tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed before getting hurt. He'll now compete with DJ Turner (collarbone) for the No. 2 cornerback spot in the Bengals' secondary alongside Cam…read more

Sent to injured reserve
The Bengals placed Hill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Hill suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Ravens. With Hill done for the year, cornerback duties will fall on Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner on the outside, with Mike Hilton (knee) in the slot once healthy. Josh Newton is next up on the depth chart. With his 2024 campaign over, Hill will have an eye toward rehabbing for 2025, in what shapes up as a contract year for the 2022 first-round pick.

Torn ACL confirmed
Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Hill tore his ACL in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hill was feared to have sustained a torn ACL after exiting early in the Bengals' Week 5 loss, and Taylor's comments Monday confirmed those fears. The 2022 first-round pick recorded 25 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended two passes across five games before sustaining this season-ending injury. Expect DJ Turner to start opposite Cam Taylor-Britt in the Bengals' secondary while Hill recovers from his torn ACL.

Team fears torn ACL
Hill is believed to have sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hill was knocked out of the Week 5 tilt early due to a knee injury which may turn out to be season-ending. He was on pace for his second consecutive 100-tackle season going into Sunday's game, so Hill's potential absence for the remainder of the campaign would be a major blow to the Cincinnati secondary. DJ Turner is likely to enter the starting lineup as a replacement for Hill at the outside corner spot opposite Cam Taylor-Britt.

Done for day with knee injury
Hill suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against Baltimore and will not return.
Analysis: Hill was immediately ruled out, suggesting the injury could be serious. The Bengals were already missing starting nickel CB Mike Hilton (knee), so Hill was filling in there. Cincinnati is now expected to turn to Jalen Davis or Josh Newton.

Pushing for starting role
Hill is competing with DJ Turner for the perimeter role opposite opposite of Cam Taylor-Britt and could have an early lead, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Hill, a 2022 first-round pick, impressed at safety in his sophomore season but is now working as an outside cornerback. He boasts a size advantage over Turner, with Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reporting that Hill's physicality has made him stand out, but it's unlikely that anyone will truly pull ahead in the No. 2 corner competition until pads come on in training camp.

Operating as cornerback in 2024
Hill is expected to be a part of the Bengals' cornerback room in 2024, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Hill spent his sophomore campaign operating as a starting safety for the Bengals, recording 110 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also intercepting two passes and deflecting 11 others over 17 contests. Head coach Zac Taylor said Sunday that Hill will "be in the cornerback room" this year, which could mean a position change is in store. The team signed former Raven Geno Stone this offseason to potentially replace Hill in 2024.

Impressive sophomore season
Hill recorded 110 total tackles, which includes six tackles for loss, and also defended 11 passes, including two interceptions, in 17 games with the Bengals during the 2023 regular season.
Analysis: With the departure of Vonn Bell this past offseason, Hill was given the opportunity to start after being selected in the first-round of the 2022 NFL Draft. It's safe to say the Michigan product didn't disappoint in 2023, as he ranked first on the Bengals in pass deflections and third in total tackles. Hill's rookie contract will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2025 season and he'll look to add another productive year to his resume in 2024.

Continues consistency in loss
Hill had six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs
Analysis: Hill has registered six or seven tackles in each of his past eight games.

Gets first career pick
Hill recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.
Analysis: In what was a dreadful game for Cincinnati as a whole, Hill emerged as a bright spot when he picked off a Deshaun Watson pass over the middle in the third quarter. He'll look to expand on his promising start to 2023 versus Lamar Jackson and Baltimore in Week 2.

Could be in store for bigger role
Hill could garner a major role in 2023 after Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates both left Cincinnati in free agency, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Hill was selected in the first round of the 2022 Draft but was relegated to a backup role as a rookie, totaling 16 tackles across 15 appearances. The Michigan product played over 12 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps just once last year, totaling eight tackles (five solo) across 63 snaps in Week 15 versus Tampa Bay. If Hill is thrust into a starting role in 2023, his production in that game gives fantasy managers a good sense of what to expect from Hill on a game-by-game basis.

Clears injury designation
Hill (shoulder) was a full participant on Thursday's practice report, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hill suffered the injury Week 9 against the Panthers, and following the Week 10 bye, he sat out Sunday's game against the Steelers. His return Week 12 against the Panthers should bolster the team's depth at safety.

Hill has been labeled week-to-week with a shoulder injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill suffered an apparent shoulder injury during Cincinnati's win over Carolina on Sunday, and his return date is uncertain for the moment. With the Bengals drawing a rather timely bye in Week 10, the rookie will aim for a Week 11 return in Pittsburgh.

Forced out Sunday
Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers with a right shoulder injury.
Analysis: Hill recorded four tackles before exiting at some point in the second half. With the rookie defensive back out, Michael Thomas will be forced to take on a larger role in Cincinnati's banged-up secondary.

First-team snaps coming
Hill will get plenty of first-team reps in training camp with Jessie Bates having not signed his franchise tender or reported to camp, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
Analysis: Cincinnati's first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft can play either corner or safety, but he most recently played safety at Michigan. It seems likely the Bengals selected Hill with Bates' contract situation at least partially in mind, even if they have publicly denied it. Given that Bates has been a consistent IDP asset in his career, Hill could have a real chance to post big numbers as well if he slides smoothly into Bates' role.
