B.J. HILL NEWS

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.

Impact The 30-year-old defensive lineman had an incredibly influential 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.
