Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (knee) suffered a PCL injury to his knee in Sunday's Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans and will likely miss the rest of the season, according to sources. Hubbard has already been ruled out for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, and he'll likely also miss the final two games of the season as well. The 29-year-old pass-rusher will at least go out on a high note in 2024 after scoring an offensive touchdown in Sunday's victory for the Bengals. Hubbard will finish his seventh season in the NFL (all in Cincinnati) with 41 tackles (25 solo), two sacks, nine QB hits, his first career interception and a forced fumble in 14 starts. Although Hubbard wasn't on the map in fantasy IDP leagues because of his lack of sacks, it's more bad news for an already bad Bengals defense.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (right knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Hubbard made one tackle prior to his departure, and he actually caught a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow, too. It came at a cost, though, as Hubbard's day is done. Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai will be tasked with handling additional defensive snaps until Hubbard can return to action.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (knee) left Sunday's training camp practice with a knee injury and underwent an MRI on Sunday night, but a source said the test results were good and Hubbard should be OK. While Hubbard could sit out a few days at camp, he should be fine for the start of the 2024 regular season after an injury scare on Sunday in which he was carted off. The 29-year-old pass-rusher is the team's second-best defensive end behind Trey Hendrickson, but he can still be a streamer in IDP fantasy leagues in the right matchups. The former third-round pick (77th overall) in 2018 out of Ohio State has had at least six sacks in all but one of his six NFL seasons and racked up 58 tackles (38 solo), six sacks, seven tackles for loss and 17 QB hits in 15 regular-season starts in 2023.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (ankle) was held out of two games in 2023 due to a right-ankle injury that required significant offseason surgery. Hubbard said that he had a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle and tight-rope procedure to fix his ankle. He said his ankle bothered him as early as training camp, and it became more severe later in the year. Through the first nine weeks of 2023, Hubbard ranked 28th in the NFL in pass-rush win rate as an edge rusher. But when he returned to the field in Week 12 until the end of the season, he ranked 49th out of 54 players in that category. The good news is that the 28-year-old says he'll be ready for training camp this summer. However, it's fair to wonder about how effective he'll be rushing the passer in 2024 after coming off a pretty significant surgery.
The Cincinnati Bengals officially ruled out defensive end Sam Hubbard (ankle) for the Thursday Night Football showdown in Week 11 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Hubbard will now miss his second straight game with an ankle injury, with Cameron Sample likely taking over him on Cincy's defensive line. The 28-year-old Hubbard is a notable loss this week as the Bengals look to put Week 10's upset loss to the Houston Texans in the rearview mirror in this all-important divisional clash against the AFC North-leading Ravens. The good news for the Bengals defense is that fellow pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (knee) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Thursday night.
The Cincinnati Bengals have ruled out defensive end Sam Hubbard (ankle) for the Week 10 game against the Houston Texans. An asset in deep IDP leagues, Hubbard will now need to be moved to the bench by fantasy managers in those formats this week. The 28-year-old has started all eight games this year for Cincinnati and has recorded 37 tackles (25 solo), four sacks, four tackles for loss, 13 QB hits and a fumble recovery, which places him tied for 29th in overall fantasy points among defensive linemen heading into Week 10. The Bengals will need others to step up this Sunday as they look to slow down impressive rookie QB C.J. Stroud, who set a rookie record in the Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 470 passing yards and five touchdowns.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard is setting a new personal goal for himself heading into the 2023-2024 campaign. The former third round pick has enjoyed a pretty successful career up to this point. He has put together three seasons with six-plus sacks and recorded 60 or more tackles in four straight seasons. The 28-year-old says he is feeling the best he has throughout his entire career. In recent years, Hubbard has taken a backseat to Trey Hendrickson as the top pass rusher. However, Hubbard is ready to step up and deliver for this defense. Hubbard says his goal is to record double-digit sacks in the regular season. So far, his career-best is 8.5 sacks, so we'll see if Hubbard is truly up to the challenge.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks because of the left calf injury he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to a source. The hope is that he can make it back for the postseason. Hubbard is a key pass-rusher for the Bengals, having started every game while picking up 6.5 sacks this year. The 27-year-old also has recorded 57 tackles (33 solo), 11 tackles for loss, 21 QB hits, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in 14 starts as the No. 14 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats. With Hubbard potentially out for the final three regular season games, Cameron Sample will move into a substantial role on Cincy's defensive line.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) didn't return to Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. The 27-year-old was observed after the game wearing a walking boot, although head coach Zac Taylor couldn't provide any additional information. Hopefully, IDP managers will get a positive update, especially considering Hubbard has a team-high 6.5 sacks this season. Trey Hendrickson (wrist), who sits behind Hubbard with six sacks, didn't play either. With Cincy hoping to gain ground on Buffalo and Kansas City in the AFC playoff picture, the Bengals could be without two critical components of its defensive line against the New England Patriots.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The Bengals defense took another blow, as the team was already without Trey Hendrickson (wrist) entering the contest. Hubbard leads the Cincy with 6.5 sacks this season, so IDP managers are hoping for a positive update ahead of the Week 16 meeting versus the New England Patriots.
