The Cincinnati Bengals had their full complement of defensive linemen Sunday night for the first time this season, and no one is benefitting more from the rotation than Sam Hubbard as he continues to fight through a hamstring injury.
Hubbard’s been asking for years about getting more work on offense, but since suffering a hamstring injury at the start of training camp, everyone’s focus has been on lightening his load.“Usually you're pretty beat up and you're out there in survival mode,” Hubbard said. “I feel great the day after, and late in the game I was ready to roll. I think a lot of guys felt that way. Having that rotation going with all the guys back is gonna go a long way.”“It was pretty tough,” Hubbard said.
And then there was the lone offensive snap, which came late in third quarter on third and goal from the 1-yard line. Hubbard repped the goal-line play once in Friday’s walk-through, and head coach Zac Taylor sent him in against the Giants with 1:36 left in the third quarter.
