Bengals Defensive End Sam Hubbard Likely Out for Season After Knee Injury

The 29-year-old veteran sustained a PCL injury while scoring a touchdown, raising questions about his future with the team.

Sam Hubbard suffered a PCL injury during a touchdown play in the Bengals' win over the Titans, likely ending his season, according to multiple reports.
Hubbard's injury marks a significant blow to the Bengals' defense as they remain mathematically alive for a playoff spot but face slim postseason chances.
The 29-year-old is the longest-tenured player on the Bengals' roster and a respected team leader, praised for his work ethic and influence on younger players.
Hubbard's recent seasons have been marred by injuries, including an ankle surgery in 2023 and a hamstring issue earlier this year, which have impacted his performance and playing time.
With one year remaining on his contract and a high cap hit, Hubbard's future with the Bengals is uncertain, as the team may prioritize rebuilding its struggling defensive line in the offseason.
