Overview
- The Bengals announced on Saturday that defensive tackle B.J. Hill was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list while tight end Josh Kattus was placed on the active/Non-Football Injury list.
- The team has not disclosed a reason for Hill’s PUP designation, and he will be eligible to resume practice only after passing a medical exam.
- Players on active PUP can be activated at any time during training camp after medical clearance, but the club must finalize its roster by Aug. 30 or move Hill to reserve/PUP.
- If Hill is moved to reserve/PUP at roster cuts he would be ineligible for the first four regular-season games, a change that would affect the Bengals’ early defensive rotation.
- These roster notices are common when camp opens and the next developments to watch are Hill’s medical clearance and the team’s Aug. 30 roster decisions.
