Bengals exercised their fifth-year option on CB Dax Hill.
Hill suffered a torn ACL in Week 5 against the Ravens and missed the remainder of the season. We don’t have a current update on his status, but a normal timeline would probably have him set to return sometime in camp or September. He’s a likely PUP candidate. Hill will make $12.6 million in 2026. Frankly, it’s a little surprising that this option was picked up considering how little Hill did right in 2022 and 2023 as he was shuttled back-and-forth between corner and safety. Hill was having a career season before the injury in 2024, finishing with a 68.0 PFF coverage grade.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bengals fear CB Dax Hill suffered a torn ACL in Week 5’s loss to the Ravens.
Hill exited Sunday’s game against the Ravens and did not return to the field. The third-year corner had his leg twisted up while attempting to make a cut and was ruled out shortly after leaving the field. The team will take a closer look to confirm, but this would be a brutal loss for a secondary that’s allowed 350-plus passing yards in each of its last three games.
