Bengals' Dax Hill Out for Season with Torn ACL

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dax Hill has sustained a season-ending torn ACL during their overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens, as confirmed by head coach Zac Taylor. Hill, a 2022 first-round draft pick, had been a key player in the Bengals' defense, showing significant growth and recording 25 tackles and a sack this season. He had recently transitioned from safety to cornerback, winning the starting job in training camp and proving to be the team's best outside cornerback. Hill's injury represents a significant loss for the Bengals, who are already struggling defensively this season, ranking 30th in points allowed per drive. DJ Turner is expected to take over Hill's position as the Bengals work to improve their defensive performance. The Bengals' defense has been further impacted by the absence of Mike Hilton, leaving them with limited options in the secondary.
