Bengals place B.J. Hill on PUP list ahead of training camp

Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive lineman B.J. Hill on the active/physically unable to perform list before training camp. The team has not disclosed the nature of Hill's injury or a timetable for his return. This raises concerns about his availability for the regular season, particularly if he does not return by the final roster cuts. Meanwhile, Kris Jenkins Jr. is expected to have an increased role during practices, potentially solidifying his place on the roster as Hill's absence opens competition among defensive linemen.
