Hubbard injured his elbow in this past week’s loss to the Ravens. He’ll be out a minimum of three weeks before being eligible to return off IR. 

Hubbard, 25, was selected by the Bengals in the third round out of Ohio State in 2018. He’s in the third year of a four-year, $3,389,200 contract that included a $929,200 signing bonus.

In 2020, Hubbard has appeared in five games for the Bengals and recorded 23 total tackles and one sack. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 66 edge defender out of 114 qualifying players.
