Breaking News: Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor Confirms Dax Hill’s Season-Ending Injury
In a devastating blow to the Cincinnati Bengals, head coach Zac Taylor has confirmed that cornerback Dax Hill suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s 41-38 loss to the Ravens ¹. Hill, who was arguably the Bengals’ best cornerback in the first four games of the season, went down in the first half and never returned.
“Dax has been tremendous for us, and it’s heartbreaking to see him go down,” Taylor said. “He’s worked incredibly hard and was showing tremendous growth” ¹. Hill finished the season with 25 tackles and one sack.
This injury is a significant setback for the Bengals, who were relying on Hill’s impressive performance to bolster their defense. The team has placed Hill on the Reserve/Injured list, along with G/OT Jaxson Kirkland, and has made corresponding roster moves [2).
The Bengals will now look to their younger players to step up and fill the void left by Hill’s absence. “We’ve got a lot of confidence in our young guys,” Taylor said. “They’ve been working hard and are ready for the challenge” ².
As the Bengals move forward, they’ll face tough opponents, including the New York Giants, who boast one of the NFL’s top pass-rushing units ². The team will need to rely on their offense, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, to score points and make up for the defensive loss.
