Hubbard (knee) announced Wednesday via social media that he has retired from the NFL. In a surprising move, Hubbard will bring an end to his career after spending all seven of his professional seasons in Cincinnati. The 29-year-old defensive end sustained a PCL injury and missed Cincinnati's final three games of the 2024 season, but he was relatively unproductive while on the field. In 14 games, Hubbard posted 41 total tackles, the lowest mark since his rookie year in 2018. The Ohio State product ends his career having accumulated 38.5 sacks and 398 total tackles over 104 games during the regular season.

Hubbard (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Hubbard will miss a third straight game due to a PCL injury that he suffered in Week 15 against the Titans. He wasn't placed on injured reserve, so if the Bengals manage to make it into the postseason as the AFC's No. 7 seed, it's possible that he could make his return for the wild-card round. Joseph Ossai will continue to start at defensive end alongside Trey Hendrickson due to Hubbard's injury.

Head coach Zac Taylor stated Monday that Hubbard (knee) will definitely be out against the Browns on Sunday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hubbard is considered likely to miss the rest of the season with a PCL injury per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, so this news isn't exactly surprising; Consequently, Hubbard is a potential candidate to be placed on injured reserve at some point in the near future, although he'll presumably remain week-to-week for now.
