Developing Bengals defense ready for a strong Cardinals passing game
The Cincinnati Bengals defense is looking to build on a newfound confidence as they host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday

Associated Press
Shakes off injury
Sample (oblique) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact
Sample missed the last two games with this oblique issue, but he appears ready to return in Week 14 versus the Bills. The fifth-year defensive end has yet to play more than 33 percent of the defensive snaps in a game this season. He has posted nine tackles (five solo) through nine games.

Inactive for Week 13
Sample (oblique) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
Impact
Sample was held out of the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots and it appears that, despite limited practice throughout the week, that scenario will repeat. The depth defensive end will have to use the upcoming 10-day turnaround as an opportunity to get healthy ahead of the Week 14 matchup with the Bills.

Questionable to face Ravens
Sample (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Impact
Sample was held out of the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots but was able to practice in limited fashion throughout the week. He has a chance to return for Thursday's primetime contest, though his status will be officially determined shortly before kickoff.

Still nursing oblique issue
Sample (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.
Impact
Sample missed Sunday's game versus the Patriots due to an oblique injury he sustained in Week 11 at Pittsburgh, and now his availability for Week 13 is in doubt. He'll probably have to manage a full practice Wednesday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Thanksgiving Day.

Ruled out for Week 12
Sample (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact
Sample has played 22 percent of the defensive snaps across nine games this season, producing nine tackles (five solo) and a pair of QB hits. Isaiah Foskey could see elevated snaps as a backup off the edge for the Bengals.

Exits with oblique injury
Sample (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Impact
Sample is having his right oblique evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Trey Hendrickson (hip) inactive, Myles Murphy, Isaiah Foskey and Cedric Johnson are candidates to see a slight uptick in defensive snaps for as long as Sample is out of the game.

Logs full practice
Sample (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday,Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Sample missed Cincinnati's Week 8 =contest with a knee injury, though he appears ready to return in Week 9 against the Bears. He should return to a rotational role along the defensive line.

Inactive for Week 8
Sample (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact
Sample has played 110 rotational defensive end snaps this season, contributing in all seven games for the team. The 26-year-old will miss his first game of the season with a knee injury, potentially giving a chance for the first round rookie Shemar Stewart to see the field more as he works his way back from an ankle injury.

Back from Achilles tear
Sample (Achilles) notched one solo tackle in Thursday's 34-27 preseason loss to the Eagles.
Impact
Sample didn't suit up in the 2024 regular season after tearing his left Achilles that preseason, but he's back in action for the preseason in 2025. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick is competing for a depth role as a pass rusher.

ROTOWIRE
Staying in Cincinnati
The Bengals re-signed Sample to a one-year contract Thursday.
Impact
Sample missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a left Achilles tear suffered during the preseason, so re-signing with the club he's played for since entering the NFL as a 2021 fourth-round pick is sensible. The rotational defensive end will work to get healthy and put forth a solid year in 2025 before preparing to hit free agency again.

Shifts to IR
The Bengals placed Sample (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact
This move comes as no surprise, as Sample tore his Achilles during one of the Bengals' practices last week. The Tulane product recorded 29 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and defended one pass across 17 regular-season games in 2023. Expect second-year defensive end Myles Murphy to see more work as a rotational edge rusher with Sample missing all of 2024.

Suffers torn Achilles'
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Sample is done for the year after suffering a torn Achilles in practice last week, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Sample was carted off the practice field last Thursday, and the worst-case severity of his injury has now been confirmed. The Bengals will doubtless place the fourth-year defensive end on IR, as he turns his attention toward a difficult recovery schedule for the 2025 campaign. Sample had been slated for a key backup role along Cincinnati's defensive line.

Carted off field
Sample (knee) was carted off the field during practice Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact
Sample was seen using a scooter with his left knee on the pad in the locker room after practice. It's not clear what injury he may have suffered or the severity, but the use of a scooter would indicate it's likely not a day-to-day injury.

Plays increased role Week 16
Sample notched six tackles (three solo), including one sack, during Saturday's 22-18 victory versus New England.
Impact
Sample notched his second sack of the season while playing in place of injured starter Sam Hubbard (calf) on Sunday. Sample also played a season-high 94 percent of defensive snaps, and he's now lined up for at least 74 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in each of the past two games. Expect Sample to continue stepping up into a starting role if Hubbard remains out for Monday Night Football versus Buffalo in Week 17.
