Hanging up cleats Hubbard (knee) announced his retirement Wednesday.
Impact In a surprising move, Hubbard has retired from the NFL after spending all seven years of his career with the Bengals. The 29-year-old defensive end sustained a PCL injury and missed Cincinnati's final three games of the 2024 season, but he was relatively unproductive while on the field. In 14 games, Hubbard posted 41 total tackles, the lowest mark since his rookie year in 2018. Additionally, he recorded just 2.0 sacks, tying the lowest total of his career. The Ohio State product ends his career having accumulated 398 total tackles, including 38.5 sacks, and 16 passes defended over 104 regular-season contests. He ranks eighth all-time in sacks for the Bengals.

Just 2.0 sacks during 2024 Hubbard (knee) finished the 2024 season with 41 tackles (25 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass breakups, including one interception, one forced fumble and one safety across 14 ga...
Impact Hubbard's 2.0 sacks, three tackles for loss and nine QB hits were all career lows for the 29-year-old. He missed the final three games of the season with a PCL injury in his knee. Hubbard is signed through 2025 but is slated for a raise to $9 million next season, a number that may prove to be too high considering the Bengals will be looking to pay Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and possibly Trey Hendrickson. That coupled with Hubbard's dip in production could make him a candidate for release.

Bengals RB Chase Brown inactive for vital regular-season finale at Pittsburgh
The Cincinnati Bengals will have to try to finish their playoff push without running back Chase BrownJANUARY 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't play in regular-season finale Hubbard (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers.
Impact Hubbard will miss a third straight game due to a PCL injury that he suffered in Week 15 against the Titans. He wasn't placed on injured reserve, so if the Bengals manage to make it into the postseason as the AFC's No. 7 seed, it's possible that he could make his return for the wild-card round. Joseph Ossai will continue to start at defensive end alongside Trey Hendrickson due to Hubbard's injury.

Season is likely over Hubbard's knee injury that he suffered in Sunday's game against the Titans will likely end his season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hubbard's campaign will end with 41 combined tackles, 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception in 14 games. He also caught a two-yard touchdown pass before exiting against Tennessee. The Bengals will look to Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai to pick up the extra workload beginning in Week 16 against the Browns.
