Bengals' Cameron Sample: Suffers torn Achilles

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Sample will miss the 2024 season after suffering a torn Achilles in practice last week, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.

Sample was carted off the practice field Thursday, and the worst-case scenario with regards to his injury has now been confirmed. The Bengals will place the fourth-year defensive end on IR as he turns his attention toward what will be an arduous rehab process ahead of the 2025 campaign. Sample had been slated for a key backup role along Cincinnati's defensive line.
