News

  • Logs nine tackles vs. Ravens

    Hubbard recorded nine total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The Ohio State product tied both Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson for the most tackles on the Bengals' defense in Sunday's loss. Hubbard also made a big play while the Ravens were backed up in their own territory, taking down Derrick Henry for a two-yard loss and a safety that brought the Bengals to within five points in the second quarter. Expect Hubbard to continue being a bright spot on a struggling Bengals defense as the team travels to take on the Giants in Week 6.

  • Avoids injury report

    Hubbard (knee) was not listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hubbard sustained a knee injury in late July, which kept him out of practice for most of training camp. He went through individual work in late August, and he now appears healthy enough to return to team drills ahead of the Bengals' regular-season opener against the Patriots on Sunday. Across 15 regular-season games in 2023, Hubbard registered 58 tackles (38 solo), including 6.0 sacks and two fumble recoveries.

  • Nearing return

    Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that Hubbard (knee) will go through individual work this week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard has missed the last three weeks with a knee issue, but it appears that he's nearly past the injury, as he returns to individual drills this week. The 29-year-old defensive end has recorded 6.0 sacks in each of the last three seasons, and he could very well be on the field for the Bengals' regular-season opener Sept. 8 if his recovery continues going well.

  • Sidelined for now

    Hubbard, who injured his knee during practice Sunday, is considered week-to-week according to head coach Zac Taylor, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard was carted off the field when the injury occurred, but it appears the situation is less dire than it originally seemed. The Bengals will likely be cautious with the 29-year-old, who's played a prominent role in their defense by recording at least 6.0 sacks in each of the last three seasons.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Hubbard, who injured his knee during Sunday's practice, received good test results and should be okay, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard left Sunday's practice in a cart, but it appears that he avoided what could have been a serious injury. It's unclear when Hubbard is expected to return to the field, but once the 29-year-old is healthy again, he's expected to line up alongside Trey Hendrickson and continue rushing the passer at a high level for the Bengals' defense in 2024.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Hubbard (ankle/knee) suffered a knee injury at practice Sunday, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard was carted off with a knee injury Sunday, but his MRI came back with "good" results according to Graziano and the defensive lineman is expected to be alright. Cincinnati appears to have avoided a disaster and Hubbard will once again direct his attention to being ready to go for the team's first preseason game Aug. 10 versus the Buccaneers.

  • Carted off Sunday

    Hubbard (ankle) was forced to take a cart off of the practice field Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard has been working his way back from offseason ankle surgery, and it's unclear if Sunday's issue was a result of the recovering ankle or something separate. The defensive lineman initially walked off the field with a trainer, but he ultimately hopped on a cart to take him back to the locker room during the team's 11-on-11 session. The Bengals will reconvene for practice Monday, and more information on his status will likely be provided then.

  • Bouncing back from ankle surgery

    Hubbard underwent an offseason procedure to address an ankle injury that he dealt with last season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Tallies 6.0 sacks in 2023

    Hubbard recorded 58 tackles (38 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season appearances in 2023.

    Analysis: Hubbard has racked up at least 6.0 sacks in five of his six seasons with the Bengals. His value for Cincinnati comes more as a run stopper than as a true pass rusher, which makes him more a floor than ceiling IDP play, but there's value in his consistent usage. Hubbard remains under contract with the Bengals for two more seasons.

  • Picks up sack in Week 14 win

    Hubbard recorded three tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Thursday's 34-31 overtime victory versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Hubbard helped stall a Jacksonville push for points near the end of the first half with a sack of Trevor Lawrence (ankle) that resulted in a seven-yard loss. It was Hubbard's fifth sack of the campaign and his first since Week 8, though he missed both Week 10 and Week 11 with an ankle injury. The veteran has now registered at least 5.0 sacks in five of his six NFL campaigns.

  • Returning Week 12

    Hubbard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: 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 4.0 sacks.

  • Limited in Cincinnati's practice

    Hubbard (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard has missed the team's past two games due to an ankle injury but was able to participate in practice Wednesday for the first time since getting injured.The Bengals will be happy to have the 28-year-old back in the lineup, as his 4.0 sacks are currently second on the team.

  • Won't suit up Thursday

    Hubbard (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game at Baltimore.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play vs. Texans

    Hubbard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus Houston, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard will miss his first game of the season in Week 10 as he recovers from an ankle injury. In his place, 2021 fourth-rounder Cameron Sample will probably start at defensive end opposite Trey Hendrickson.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Hubbard (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: The sixth-year defensive end has started all eight games for the Bengals, recording 37 tackles (25 solo), four sacks, four TFLs, 13 QB hits and one fumble recovery across 78 percent of the defensive snaps. Hubbard will look to get back on the practice field Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Gets sack for second straight game

    Hubbard registered six tackles (four solo) including a sack in Sunday's 31-17 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Hubbard has a sack in back-to-back games after he got to Brock Purdy late in the fourth quarter. Hubbard is on pace to surpass the 6.5 sacks he had in 2022, and his four sacks on the year is second on the team in that category behind Trey Hendrickson (eight).

  • Notches sack in win

    Hubbard recorded seven tackles (four solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 17-13 victory over Seattle.

    Analysis: Hubbard was very active in Week 6, reaching at least seven tackles for the first time since Week 1 versus Cleveland while also bringing down Geno Smith for his third sack of the 2023 campaign. The defensive end also played a season-high 62 snaps in the win and continues to be a very productive option for Cincinnati off the edge.

  • Productive night in win

    Hubbard played 84 percent of the defensive snaps and finished with six tackles and a sack in the Bengals' 19-16 win over the Rams on Monday.

    Analysis: Six of his eight tackles came in the first half alone. The Bengals were able to sack Deshaun Watson three times and keep him to 154 yards passing, but were dominated on the ground as they yielded 206 rushing yards (106 of which came from Nick Chubb on 18 carries).

  • Upgrades activity level

    Hubbard (calf) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard exited the Bengals' Week 15 game against the Buccaneers early with the injury, and he has not played since. With Hubbard now able to practice in full, he should be able to play Sunday against the Ravens, which is good news for the Bengals' pass rush.

  • Won't suit up versus Cincinnati

    Hubbard (calf) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game versus the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard will now miss his second game in a row after going down with a calf injury in the Week 15 win over Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old currently has paced the Bengals' pass rush with 6.5 sacks this season, so his availability moving forward should be considered a significant factor heading into the playoffs.

  • Status in question for Monday

    Hubbard (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: After Hubbard injured his left calf Week 15 at Tampa Bay, there was an expectation that he'd miss multiple games. So far, he's sat out just one, but limited showings in practice Thursday through Saturday are giving him a chance to return Monday. If he's able to, Hubbard will be looking to add to the 57 tackles and 6.5 sacks that he's notched in 14 appearances this season.

  • Sees limited work Thursday

    Hubbard (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard, who was originally expected to miss multiple games due to the calf injury he suffered Dec. 18 versus Tampa Bay, has now opened Week 17 prep in positive fashion. If the 27-year-old is indeed unable to gain medical clearance prior to Monday's matchup against the Bills, then Cameron Sample would likely start at defensive end opposite of Trey Hendrickson.

  • Won't play at New England

    Hubbard (calf) is listed as out for Saturday's game at the Patriots, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard will miss his first game of the season as he works to recover from a calf injury he sustained in Week 15 at Tampa Bay. In his absence, 2021 fourth-rounder Cameron Sample should draw the start at defensive end across from Trey Hendrickson on Saturday.

  • Expected to miss multiple games

    Hubbard (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard went down with a left calf injury in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and he will now be unavailable for the next few weeks. The hope is that the defensive end will be able to make it back for the postseason, but in the meantime, Cameron Sample could step into a starting role.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Hubbard (calf) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard's inability to return will leave Cincinnati without its top two pass rushers, as Trey Hendrickson missed his first game of the season due to a broken wrist Week 15. With both players' availability moving forward now up in the air, the team could be down to just three available edge rushers heading into Saturday's Week 16 contest versus the Patriots. Hubbard's activity level during practice Tuesday should shed more light on his injury status.

  • Exits against Tampa Bay

    Hubbard is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a left calf injury.

    Analysis: Hubbard limped off late during the first half, though it's unclear when or how this injury first arose. With fellow starting defensive Trey Hendrickson already inactive with a broken wrist, the Bengals will be without their top two pass rushers for the remainder of the game. With Hubbard currently sidelined, Cameron Sample, Joseph Ossai and Jeff Gunter will all have to take on bigger roles Sunday.

  • Another week, another sack

    Hubbard picked up a sack for the third week in a row among his five tackles in Sunday's win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Hubbard is up to 6.5 sacks through 13 games this season after racking up 7.5 sacks during the regular season last season. With Trey Hendrickson out at least this upcoming week, the Bengals will need him to be their primary pass rusher against the Bucs.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Hubbard (hand) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard underwent X-rays on his left hand following Monday's loss to the Browns, but he appears to have sidestepped an injury completely. Barring a setback, the defensive end should be good to go for Sunday's matchup against Carolina.

  • Undergoes X-rays Monday

    Hubbard received an X-ray after he appeared to injure his left hand during Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard said postgame that he was "okay" as the initial results of this examination appeared to come back negative, though he was still seen wearing a finger splint on his injured left hand, per Baby. The exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, and his status on the Bengals' first injury report of Week 9 should shed more light on his availability for Sunday's game against Carolina.

  • All-around solid outing Sunday

    Hubbard recorded seven tackles (four solo), 0.5 sacks and one pass defensed during Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The fifth-year defensive end collected his first sack dating all the way back to Week 2 in Dallas. Hubbard was also able to play 97 percent of the team's defensive snaps versus the Saints on Sunday, and he'll likely operate in a similar role in Week 7 against the Falcons.

  • Posts first sack of season

    Hubbard finished with four tackles (three solo), one sack and one pass defense during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Hubbard only recorded four tackles but two of those went for loss, including his first sack of the season. The defensive end took down Cooper Rush in the fourth quarter on a third-and-seven play, forcing a punt. Hubbard has been a consistent producer along Cincinnati's defensive line in each of his first four seasons and figures to garner a similar role in Year 5.

  • Posts another 62-tackle season

    Hubbard notched 62 tackles (33 solo), 7.5 sacks, three pass breakups, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 16 appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: Hubbard has now posted back-to-back seasons with 62 tackles, though he recorded 5.5 more sacks in 2021 than 2020. The 26-year-old has three more years remaining on his contract with Cincinnati, though the team does have a potential "out" this offseason that would lead to only $6 million in dead cap money if exercised.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Hubbard (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard was listed as questionable heading into the regular-season finale, though his ability to practice fully Friday was a good sign that he would avoid the inactive list. Even so, the Bengals don't have much at stake in terms of playoff positioning with a win or a loss Sunday, so the team could look to lighten the workloads of Hubbard and several other key starters. Hubbard has tallied 62 tackles, 7.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries through 16 games this season.

  • Nearing new career high in sacks

    Hubbard totaled five tackles and a half sack in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hubbard has been one of the league's more productive pass rushers over his last six games, racking up six sacks and tallying 27 stops over that span. He's now up to 7.5 sacks on the season, putting him well on his way to surpassing his previous career high (8.5) from 2019 with five games to go.

  • Huge day against Baltimore

    Hubbard recorded five tackles (three solo), 2.5 sacks and one pass deflection during Sunday's win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Hubbard came into the Bengals' Week 7 matchup against the Ravens with 1.5 sacks on the year, but he was able to double his season total by harassing Lamar Jackson on Sunday. The 26-year-old defensive end had 14.5 sacks through his first two seasons in the NFL, but he mustered just two during the 2020 campaign. If he can build off his dominant performance and continue to rack up sacks, then he may play himself into fantasy relevancy in IDP leagues.

  • Notches sack

    Hubbard posted six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hubbard has now accrued 17 tackles (11 solo) and 1.5 sacks through three games. His high tackle count is encouraging for IDP purposes, and it would be a major step up if he could get back to the 8.5-sack point that he produced in 2019.

  • Inks $40 million extension

    Hubbard agreed to a four-year, $40 million extension with the Bengals on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard was entering the final year of his rookie deal, but he's now linked up with Cincinnati through 2025. The 26-year-old recorded 14.5 sacks over his first two seasons but tallied only two sacks in 13 games during the 2020 campaign.

  • Wraps up 2020 season in loss

    Hubbard, who posted five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, ended his 2020 campaign recording 62 tackles (33 solo), two sacks, three defensed passes and one forced fumble in 13 games.

    Analysis: Hubbard has remained on the Bengals' active roster for three seasons now and has persistently proved himself to be key asset for the defense. While the 24-year-old's 2020 tackle tally was not as high as the prior season (76 tackles), he was forced to sit out three games after suffering an elbow injury during Week 5. Playing 664 defensive snaps this campaign, Hubbard will look to build on this past season's numbers in 2021.

  • Best tackling effort of 2020

    Hubbard posted 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 19-7 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hubbard put together his best tackling performance since Week 1 of the 2019 season. He's posted 47 stops through nine games, but his pass-rushing acumen has taken a hit with just one sack after ringing up 8.5 last year. The third-year defensive end will look to make up for the deficit down the stretch with matchups against Dallas, Pittsburgh, Houston and Baltimore.

  • Officially activated

    The Bengals have activated Hubbard (elbow) from injured reserve, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard returned to practice earlier this week and apparently showed enough to be activated prior to Sunday's matchup with the Steelers. He has been sidelined since Week 5. Barring any setbacks, he will now look to work his way back into the Bengals' defensive line rotation.

  • Ready to return to practice

    The Bengals designated Hubbard (elbow) to return to practice Wednesday, beginning his 21-day window to be activated from IR.

    Analysis: Hubbard hasn't played since Week 5, and he could return as soon as this Sunday's matchup against the Steelers. The third-year defensive end played at least 60 percent of the defensive snaps in every game before this injury, and he could have an even larger role upon return because the Bengals traded Carlos Dunlap to Seattle.

  • Availability for Week 6 in question

    Hubbard (elbow) did not practice Wednesday and might not be able to play Sunday against the Colts, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard's injury might mean that Carlos Dunlap could return to the starting lineup and get more snaps after losing time last week in the loss to the Ravens. Carl Lawson remains the starter at the other defensive end spot.

  • Out for remainder of Week 5

    Hubbard (elbow) has been declared out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old defensive end had been active with three tackles prior to his second-half exit against Baltimore, providing him with an average of 4.6 tackles per game Weeks 1 through 5. Hubbard had started opposite Carlos Dunlap as a bookend to Cincinnati's defensive line, meaning that Carl Lawson will be counted on for a more vital role at right defensive end for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

  • Tallies nine tackles

    Hubbard (knee) tallied nine tackles, one for a loss, in Week 1 against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hubbard finished second on the the team in tackles behind only Sam Pratt. He was on the field for 58 defensive snaps in addition to seven special teams plays. Currently questionable for the team's Week 2 matchup against Cleveland, his absence would leave a large void along the Cincinnati defensive line.

  • Limited in practice

    Hubbard (knee) was limited in Monday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard played 58 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Chargers and finished second on the team with nine tackles, but it appears he's a bit hampered Monday. It's encouraging that he still practiced in some capacity, but he'll need to get healthy quickly with a Thursday night matchup against the Browns on deck. If he can't go, expect Carl Lawson to see an uptick in usage.

  • Absent on Wednesday

    Hubbard (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hubbard still has two chances left to practice this week and, according to Baby, should be good to go Sunday in Cleveland. The 23-year-old defensive end has collected sacks in back-to-back games and will be pushing to play Week 14. Returning to practice Thursday will be a step in the right direction for Hubbard.
