  Rotowire Sep 14, 2025

  Hill had nine more tackles, including one for a loss, and a big interception early in the Bengals' win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

• Bengals' Dax Hill: Out for first preseason game

  Rotowire Aug 5, 2025

  Hill (knee) won't play in the first preseason game against Philadelphia Thursday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. While on track to play Week 1 after tearing his ACL last October, the Bengals are being cautious with their starting slot cornerback. Hill has been fully participating in team drills the past two weeks, which is a great sign for a pass defense that struggled the majority of the last season.

  Rotowire Apr 29, 2025

  Hill (knee) had his fifth-year option on his rookie contract picked up for $12.682 million by the Bengals on Tuesday, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hill was set to enter the final year of his contract with Cincinnati, but he'll now stick around through the 2026 campaign.

• Bengals' Dax Hill: Sent to injured reserve

  Rotowire Oct 8, 2024

  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.

• Bengals' Dax Hill: Team fears torn ACL

  Rotowire Oct 7, 2024

  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.
