Hubbard underwent an offseason procedure to address an ankle injury that he dealt with last season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Per the report, Hubbard -- who missed two regular-season games in 2023 due to a right ankle issue -- indicated that he had a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle as well as a TightRope procedure. Now that the defensive end has had his ankle repaired, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reported Monday that Hubbard says he's a few weeks ahead of schedule in his recovery and believes that he'll be ready for training camp.

Hubbard was able to log a full practice Friday after recording limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, and it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past his ankle issue. The veteran defensive end has appeared in eight games this season, tallying 37 total tackles, including four tackles for loss and four sacks.
Hubbard will miss his second straight game as he deals with a lingering ankle injury. In his place, 2021 fourth-rounder Cameron Sample will probably start on the edge opposite Trey Hendrickson.
