Bengals’ Mike Hilton Had Surgery Last Week, Vows To Play Vs Steelers

While the Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t have to worry about them for nearly another two weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to get themselves right following a rebound blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. That includes getting healthy.

Former Steelers cornerback Mike Hilton missed that game against the Panthers, and as it turns out, for good reason. Speaking to reporters yesterday, he confirmed that he had surgery to repair a pinky finger that had broken in three places the week before in a loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Hilton had four tackles in that game, but only logged 64 percent of the snaps.
