Sample (hamstring) is out Sunday against the Browns, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample was forced to leave the Bengals' Week 16 blowout win over the Ravens early with the hamstring injury and wasn't able to practice at all leading up to Week 17. In his absence, Wyatt Ray and Khalid Kareem are expected to be the primary backups to Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard.

Sample (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Sample (knee) isn't listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sample suffered a knee injury at some point before Week 9 and was unable to play against the Browns. The defensive end should see an important role Sunday behind starter Sam Hubbard. Expect Sample to make his return to the field in Week 11 against the Raiders.

Sample (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sample (shoulder) isn't listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sample injured his right shoulder against Washington in a preseason game and was forced to leave the game early. The injury seems to have cleared up as the rookie should be healthy enough to play in Sunday's season opener against Minnesota.

Sample exited Friday's preseason game against Washington with a right shoulder injury.

EDGE Analysis

Although Sample was ruled out for the remainder of Friday's contest shortly after he left the game, coach Zac Taylor said after the game that the rookie's injury is considered minor, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports. He racked up four tackles (two solo) prior to his departure.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Sample is considered day-to-day with a "slight hamstring thing," Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie fourth-round pick will begin his career on the active/Non-Football Injury list and will hope to heal up soon as he battles for playing time at defensive end.

The Bengals selected Sample in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 111th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Sample (6-foot-3, 267 pounds) has a defensive end frame but could offer the Bengals some inside reps as well in passing-down situations after showing versatility in his Tulane career, where he played more around the 280-pound range. The Bengals might view him as a tackle-end swing backup for the short term.
