Sam Hubbard announced his retirement from the NFL after seven seasons.

Fantasy Impact

Hubbard was a third-round pick of the Bengals in the 2018 NFL Draft. He posted his best season in his second year when he recorded 8.5 sacks and 76 tackles. He totaled 38.5 sacks across his seven seasons in the NFL.

Cincinnati Bengals EDGE Sam Hubbard suffered what is expected to be a season-ending PCL injury in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Hubbard was fourth on the team in pressures with 18 on what was already a thin and struggling D-line in Cincinnati. He caught a touchdown on offense in the Week 15 win, but his season is likely over after tallying just two sacks in 2024 (tied for third on the team) and recording a career-worst 58.9 defensive grade, per PFF.

Sam Hubbard participated in individual drills at practice on Monday.

Hubbard had been considered week-to-week back in the first week of August with a knee injury. He'll likely look to return to team drills either later this week or at some point next week as the next step in his recovery.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Sam Hubbard is "week-to-week" moving forward in training camp.

Taylor mentioned both Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson having the same designation. "Nothing this week," Taylor said about both. "Will kind of take it week-to-week right now with him, so we'll be slow to go with both those guys... Wouldn't expect anything through this week and then we'll revisit next week but give him time and Trey both time to recover. They're known quantities, what we got in them, so not gonna rush either one of those guys back." These will remain situations to monitor.

Sam Hubbard was given a rest day at practice on Friday.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor appeared to be giving some of the vets an extra day of rest with them also being off on Saturday. Hubbard should return to practice afterwards.
