CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard is feeling fortunate following an injury that was more severe than was initially believed.

A right ankle issue that kept him out of two games last season required significant offseason surgery. On Monday, Hubbard said that he had a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle and a TightRope procedure to repair the ankle.

"I'm thankful that I made it out with no cartilage damage and stuff like that, but it's all fixed," Hubbard said.

The seventh-year player out of Ohio State said the issue bothered him as early as training camp in 2023.
