Bengals' Cameron Sample: Shifts to IR
The Bengals placed Sample (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
This move comes as no surprise, as Sample tore his Achilles during one of the Bengals' practices last week. The Tulane product recorded 29 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and defended one pass across 17 regular-season games in 2023. Expect second-year defensive end Myles Murphy to see more work as a rotational edge rusher with Sample missing all of 2024.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Suffers torn Achilles
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Sample will miss the 2024 season after suffering a torn Achilles in practice last week, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
Sample was carted off the practice field Thursday, and the worst-case scenario with regards to his injury has now been confirmed. The Bengals will place the fourth-year defensive end on IR as he turns his attention toward what will be an arduous rehab process ahead of the 2025 campaign. Sample had been slated for a key backup role along Cincinnati's defensive line.

Sample notched six tackles (three solo), including one sack, during Saturday's 22-18 victory versus New England.
Sample notched his second sack of the season while playing in place of injured starter Sam Hubbard (calf) on Sunday. Sample also played a season-high 94 percent of defensive snaps, and he's now lined up for at least 74 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in each of the past two games. Expect Sample to continue stepping up into a starting role if Hubbard remains out for Monday Night Football versus Buffalo in Week 17.

Sample (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
This is the first time Sample has practiced since injuring his groin late in the Bengals' divisional-round victory over the Titans two weeks ago.
