Logs limited practice in return Hill (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hill was unable to practice Wednesday due to a knee issue that he may have sustained during the Bengals' Week 9 loss to the Ravens. The veteran defensive tackle has managed to play through multiple injuries this season, so if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday.

DNP with knee injury Hill (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a new injury for the veteran defensive tackle, as Hill was dealing with a ribs issue headed into last Thursday night's game against Baltimore. Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson would be next up for snaps should Hill need to miss more time.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go vs. Baltimore Hill (ribs) is not on the Bengals' inactive list for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Hill injured his ribs during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. He was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, and despite operating on a short week, Hill will suit up for Thursday's AFC North showdown. The 2018 third-round pick has logged 23 tackles (10 solo) and four pass breakups over seven regular-season games.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday night Hill (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Ravens.

Impact Hill upgraded to limited participation Wednesday after logging a DNP on Tuesday, suggesting he could be trending toward playing in Thursday night's divisional matchup. However, if the 29-year-old defensive tackle is unable to suit up in Week 10, expect Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson to see increased work with Cincinnati's first-team defense.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with ribs injury Hill exited Sunday's game against the Raiders with a ribs injury and will not return.

Impact Sheldon Rankins, Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson will handle defensive tackle duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest. Sam Hubbard is also capable of kicking inside.

Cleared to play Sunday Hill (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens and is expected to play, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Hill has been sidelined since going down 14 snaps into Week 2 against the Chiefs, but his Week 5 return will be a big boost to Cincinnati's struggling defense. His return could bump rookie DT Kris Jenkins out of the rotation up front.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Hill (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

Impact Hill was considered doubtful for the matchup, so his game status doesn't come as too much of a surprise. With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) also out, the Bengals will be depleted in the middle of their defensive line. Zachary Carter, Jay Tufele and Kris Jenkins will all likely need to step up there against the Carolina.

Doubtful to face Carolina Hill (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday and Hill doubtful, Zachary Carter, Jay Tufele and rookie Kris Jenkins will again pace the Bengals' interior defensive line in snaps against Carolina after that was the case last Monday night versus Washington when both Rankins and Hill were inactive.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive against Washington Hill (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against Washington.

Impact Hill was listed as doubtful, so this isn't a surprise. With Sheldon Rankins also out with a hamstring injury, the Bengals were forced to sign veteran DT Lawrence Guy to team with Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter on the interior of the defensive line.

Unlikely to play Monday Hill (hamstring) didn't practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bill picked up the hamstring injury during Cincinnati's Week 2 loss to Kansas City. The 2018 third-round pick wasn't able to practice in any capacity all week, making him unlikely to suit up for Monday's contest. With Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) already ruled out, backups Jay Tufele and Zachary Carter will step into the starting defensive tackle jobs while Lawrence Guy serves in a rotational depth role, if Hill ends up being ruled out.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Friday Hill (hamstring) did not participate in Friday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hill sustained the hamstring injury in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. He opened the week with back-to-back DNP's, and he'll have one more chance Saturday to practice in some capacity ahead of Monday's game against the Commanders. Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) has also been held out of practice, and if neither he nor Hill can play, then Zachary Carter and Jay Tufele would step up as the starting defensive tackles for Monday's contest.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Hill (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 game against Kansas City.

Impact Hill exited in the second quarter of Sunday's contest while grabbing at his left hamstring, and he's since been ruled out for the remainder of the game. His departure is a big blow to a depleted Bengals defensive line. Zachary Carter has stepped in for Hill against the Chiefs, while Jay Tufele has entered for Sheldon Rankins, who went down with an injury in the third quarter.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game with hamstring injury Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Hill registered one tackle before exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Jay Tufele or Zachary Carter will see additional snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter Sheldon Rankins while Hill is sidelined.
