The Bengals placed Hill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. 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.

Sent to injured reserve
The Bengals placed Hill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. 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 loss to the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. 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. 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. 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.
Productive despite loss
Hill registered eight tackles (seven solo), with a sack, during the Bengals' 16-10 loss versus the Patriots. Hill is coming off the best season of his career and had a strong performance in the first game of the new campaign Sunday. He not only finished second on the team in tackles, but he also recorded their only sack.
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. Hill, a 2022 first-round pick, impressed as 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. 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 and could replace Hill at safety in 2024.
