Bengals' B.J. Hill: Totals 4.0 sacks in 2025
Hill recorded 66 tackles (29 solo), including 4.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Hill tallied the second-highest tackle total of his career while suiting up for all 17 of Cincinnati's regular-season games in 2025. The 30-year-old veteran has two more years remaining on his contract with the Bengals, though the team has a potential 'out' this offseason for only $7.3 million in dead cap.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Suiting up Sunday
Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Hill logged a limited session Friday and will continue his perfect attendance during the 2025 campaign. In 16 games, Hill has recorded 58 tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Questionable with ankle
Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
Hill upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. The defensive tackle has yet to miss a game this year despite battling a persistent ankle injury since Dec. 17, so his chances to suit up Sunday are quite high. If the 30-year-old must miss the last game of the season, McKinnley Jackson would likely see an increased amount of defensive snaps at defensive tackle alongside T.J. Slaton.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: DNP to open Week 18 prep
Hill (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Hill has managed to play through an ankle injury during each of the Bengals' last two games, accruing four tackles (two solo) over that span. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week, but given his ability to play Weeks 16 and 17, he should be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Will play vs. Arizona
Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hill has been working through an ankle injury over the past two weeks, but the veteran defensive lineman has been able to play through the issue. He has logged 20 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the six games since the Bengals' Week 10 bye.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Questionable to face Cardinals
Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hill began Week 17 prep listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he managed to upgrade to limited reps Friday. The veteran defensive tackle's status will be made official approximately 90 minutes in advance of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: DNP Wednesday
Hill (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Hill missed consecutive practices to start Week 16 due to his ankle issue, but was able to upgrade to a limited participant Friday and play in last Sunday's win over the Dolphins. If the same timeline is to be assumed for the veteran defensive tackle, he is likely on pace to play in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Good to go Week 16
Hill (ankle) is active for Sunday's battle against Miami.
Hill began Week 16 prep with consecutive DNPs due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to take the field Sunday and avoid missing his first game of the campaign. Hill should thus be able to take on his usual starting role along the defensive line, which typically leads to a defensive snap share between 60 and 80 percent.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Questionable for Sunday
Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Hill managed to log a limited practice Friday, which constituted his only practice participation of the week. The defensive tackle played just 25 snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, indicating the fresh ankle injury may have had something to do with his absence. With just one limited practice under his belt it is unclear if the 30-year-old will be able to suit up. If Hill is unable to play, McKinnley Jackson and Jordan Jefferson would be in line for an increased defensive snap share in Sunday's contest.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Dealing with ankle injury
Hill (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hill played a season-low 25 defensive snaps in Week 15 versus the Ravens, and now his availability for Week 16 is in jeopardy due to a problem with his ankle. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of playing Sunday at Miami.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: 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.
The 30-year-old defensive lineman had a particularly timely 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.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Full go for Week 1
Hill (foot) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hill was dealing with a foot injury throughout training camp and the preseason, but he is now all set to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Cleveland. The 30-year-old is expected to operate as one of the team's starters at defensive tackle to open the 2025 campaign.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Still not practicing
Hill (foot) is not participating in Sunday's practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Hill has been limited since the start of training camp due to what was initially labeled a precautionary foot injury. He didn't suit up for Cincinnati's preseason opener, and it remains to be seen whether he'll be available for the team's second preseason clash on Monday, Aug. 18 against the Commanders.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: 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.
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.

Bengals' B.J. Hill: Spotted with boot
Hill (foot) was spotted with a boot on his left foot at the Bengals' voluntary workouts Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hill signed a three-year contract with the Bengals in March after posting 56 total tackles (25 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed over 15 regular-season games with the team in 2024. The defensive tackle is now dealing with an unspecified left foot injury and it's unclear if it'll cause him to miss Cincinnati's OTAs later this month.
