Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters that DE Cam Sample tore his Achilles and will miss the 2024 season, per Jay Morrison.
It’s a hit to Cincinnati’s edge rusher depth and an unfortunate setback for Sample who was in the final year of his rookie deal and looking to carve out a role.
Sample, 24, was a four-year starter at Tulane and was named first team All-AAC in 2020. The Bengals drafted him in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Sample is in the final year of a four-year, $4,268,142 contract that includes a $788,142 signing bonus.
In 2023, Sample appeared in all 17 games for the Bengals and recorded 29 total tackles, one tackle for loss, 1.5 sacks and one pass deflection.
