Hubbard recorded nine total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens. The Ohio State product tied both Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson for the most tackles on the Bengals' defense in Sunday's loss. Hubbard also made a big play while the Ravens were backed up in their own territory, taking down Derrick Henry for a two-yard loss and a safety that brought the Bengals to within five points in the second quarter. Expect Hubbard to continue being a bright spot on a struggling Bengals defense as the team travels to take on the Giants in Week 6.

Hubbard (knee) was not listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday. Hubbard sustained a knee injury in late July, which kept him out of practice for most of training camp. He went through individual work in late August, and he now appears healthy enough to return to team drills ahead of the Bengals' regular-season opener against the Patriots on Sunday. Across 15 regular-season games in 2023, Hubbard registered 58 tackles (38 solo), including 6.0 sacks and two fumble recoveries.

Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that Hubbard (knee) will go through individual work this week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hubbard has missed the last three weeks with a knee issue, but it appears that he's nearly past the injury, as he returns to individual drills this week. The 29-year-old defensive end has recorded 6.0 sacks in each of the last three seasons, and he could very well be on the field for the Bengals' regular-season opener Sept. 8 if his recovery continues going well.

Hubbard, who injured his knee during practice Sunday, is considered week-to-week according to head coach Zac Taylor, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hubbard was carted off the field when the injury occurred, but it appears the situation is less dire than it originally seemed. The Bengals will likely be cautious with the 29-year-old, who's played a prominent role in their defense by recording at least 6.0 sacks in each of the last three seasons.

Hubbard recorded 58 tackles (38 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season appearances in 2023. Hubbard has racked up at least 6.0 sacks in five of his six seasons with the Bengals. His value for Cincinnati comes more as a run stopper than as a true pass rusher, which makes him more a floor than ceiling IDP play, but there's value in his consistent usage. Hubbard remains under contract with the Bengals for two more seasons.
