CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Jeremy Hill said via his Instagram account that his ankle surgery was successful. The injury, which appeared to occur prior to the Bengals' game against the Jaguars, ended his season and might have ended his tenure in a Bengals uniform.
Hill entered the final year of his rookie contract this season and the team drafted running back Joe Mixon in the second round. Although Hill technically remained the starting running back, his snaps dropped significantly and he averaged only 3.1 yards per carry.
