CINCINNATI -- The Bengals will be without a key defender the rest of the season.
Cornerback Dax Hill suffered a torn ACL in his right knee on Sunday, coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday.
"Heartbroken for him," Taylor said.
Hill left the game toward the end of the first quarter of Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens that dropped the Bengals to 1-4 this season. Hill was in coverage when he went down. He was promptly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Hill, the team's first-round pick in 2022, was the team's starting free safety last season but was moved to cornerback after a disappointing year for the Bengals' pass defense.
