Bengals' B.J. Hill Observes Workouts in Walking Boot

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle B.J. Hill was present at the team's recent offseason workouts but did not participate due to wearing a walking boot on his lower left leg. The specific cause or severity of the injury remains unclear, though multiple reports note that Hill was not wearing the boot the previous week, suggesting it may be a precautionary measure. Hill, who recently signed a three-year contract extension, is expected to be a key leader for the Bengals' defense under new coordinator Al Golden. The Bengals struggled defensively last season, making Hill's health and leadership crucial as the team integrates younger players and seeks improvement. While Hill observed from the sidelines, his status will be closely monitored as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Both the organization and fans are hopeful for his full recovery ahead of training camp.
