  • Career-high tackle total in 2023

    Hilton racked up 84 tackles (64 solo), 2.0 sacks, eight passes defensed (including two interceptions) and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Hilton tallied career-high numbers in terms of tackles in 2023, while also handling the most defensive snaps (841) of his NFL career. Now heading into both his age-30 season and the final year of his contract with the Bengals, Hilton likely remains locked into a key role for Cincinnati's secondary, though that's never quite translated to him being a valuable fantasy asset.

  • Registers sack in loss

    Hilton finished Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs with five tackles (four solo), including one sack.

    Analysis: Hilton managed to get to Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter of Sunday's loss. Hilton is up to two sacks on the season, with his first coming in Week 11 against the Ravens. He's up to a career-high 81 tackles (61 solo), including 2.0 sacks, seven passes defended, two interceptions and one fumble recovery over 16 games this season.

  • Makes pivotal play vs. Vikings

    Hilton recorded three tackles (three solo) and an interception in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win versus the Vikings.

    Analysis: Late in the second quarter, Hilton was able to cut in front of a Nick Mullens pass intended for Justin Jefferson in the middle of the end zone to keep Minnesota from expanding a 7-3 lead. He's a more valuable asset in real life than in fantasy going into a Week 16 matchup at Pittsburgh.

  • Logs season high tackles

    Hilton registered 10 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 24-18 win versus Buffalo.

    Analysis: Hilton had one of his most productive outings of the season Sunday logging double-digit tackles for the first time. The 29-year-old finished second on the team in tackles and now has 37 total (29 solo) through eight games played.

  • Set to play Week 16

    Hilton (knee) was a full participant during practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's contest versus New England.

    Analysis: Hilton was sidelined with a knee injury during each practice Week 15 before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, He then started Week 16 as a limited participant in practice Tuesday, and the 28-year-old will be ready to return versus the Patriots. Hilton has played at least 62 percent of defensive snaps in all but two of his 12 games this season, so his availability will be a big boost for Cincinnati's banged-up secondary.

  • Unavailable Week 15

    Head coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Hilton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hilton appears to have picked up a knee injury last weekend versus the Browns, explaining why he was unable to partake in any of Cincinnati's practices prior to Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay. With the 28-year-old now sidelined, Eli Apple, Cam Taylor-Britt and Tre Flowers figure to have their work cut out for them versus a loaded Buccaneers' receiving corps Week 15.

  • Dealing with injury

    Hilton (knee) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Hilton handled his typical workload in Sunday's win over the Browns, so it's unclear when he may have picked up the injury. He'll likely need to find his way on to the practice field Thursday or Friday, if he's going to be active Sunday against the Buccaneers.

  • Amasses seven stops in win

    Hilton recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: In just his second game back from a one-game absence due to a finger injury, Hilton played 74 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps and posted a solid seven tackles. The 28-year-old cornerback is slated to continue operating alongside Eli Apple and Cam Taylor-Britt at cornerback when the Bengals host the Chiefs in an AFC Championship Game rematch this weekend.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Hilton (finger) was a full participant in the Bengals' practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hilton was sidelined for Cincinnati's Week 9 win over Carolina with a finger injury, though he appears to be on track to return following successful surgery for this issue last Tuesday. The cornerback played a prominent role over the first eight games of the season, logging 35 tackles and five passes defended on 454 defensive snaps. With Chidobe Awuzie now out for the season with a torn ACL, Hilton should play an even more crucial role in the Bengals' depleted secondary this Sunday against…read more

  • Looking to return in Week 11

    Hilton (finger) said Monday that he believes he'll be ready for the Bengals' Week 11 matchup in Pittsburgh, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Hilton, who underwent finger surgery Tuesday and missed Sunday's game against Carolina, is expected to benefit from Cincinnati's Week 10 bye and return to action versus the Steelers in Week 11. The 28-year-old has collected 36 tackles and three pass breakups across the team's first eight games of the 2022 campaign.

  • Won't play versus Carolina

    Hilton (finger) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hilton will miss his first action of the 2022 season with a finger injury. With Chidobe Awuzie (knee) out for the season and Tre Flowers (hamstring) listed as questionable for Week 9, Cincinnati will be forced to lean on rookie second-rounder Cam Taylor-Britt a little more heavily than they'd probably prefer to against a DJ Moore-led Carolina passing attack.

  • Plays well against former team

    Hilton had eight solo tackles and a quarterback hit in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hilton put forth a solid performance against the team with which he spent his first four NFL season. The nickel cornerback had at least five quarterback hits in each of his seasons with Pittsburgh but only two in his first year with the Bengals in 2021. He's already halfway to last year's total in that category, so perhaps the Bengals are planning to bring Hilton on more blitzes this year to utilize that aspect of his skill set.

  • Pick-six in win

    Hilton recorded four tackles (two solo) while also intercepting a pass in the 41-10 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hilton intercepted his first pass of the season and his first since Week 16 of last year, putting the game away with a 24-yard interception return right before the half. Hilton and the Cincinnati defense face a much tougher matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

  • Signing with Cincinnati

    Hilton has agreed to a contract with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Hilton was a versatile piece in Pittsburgh, shining in the slot while also capably filling in when called upon on the outside. He logged three sacks, three interceptions and 51 tackles in 12 games last season, starting six. The details of Hilton's contract have yet to be disclosed, but he'll likely take on a starting role in Cincinnati and get paid accordingly.

  • Back in there against Browns

    Hilton (ankle) was able to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Dale Lolley of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

    Analysis: Hilton's return had been questionable due to an ankle injury. His availability is a major boon to a Pittsburgh secondary that's already operating without Joe Haden (reserve/COVID-19).

  • Return questionable due to ankle

    Hilton (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Steelers Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports.

    Analysis: James Pierre should take on a larger role opposite Steven Nelson in Hilton's absence. Hilton was quiet before getting hurt, totaling just one tackle.

  • Quiet in Week 17

    Hilton recorded one assisted tackle in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The Steelers rested Hilton for a significant portion of Sunday's game against Cleveland, and he didn't generate much production as a result. The 26-year-old missed four weeks due to a shoulder injury this year but still finished with a career-high three interceptions. He also totaled 51 tackles (42 solo), including three sacks, seven pass defenses and two fumble recoveries during his fourth year in the league. He should be well rested ahead of the playoffs prior to hitting free agency during…read more

  • Tallies third interception of 2020

    Hilton recorded four tackles (two solo), one interception, one fumble recovery and one pass defense in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Despite missing four games due to a shoulder injury earlier this year, Hilton now has a career-high three interceptions with one week remaining in the regular season. Over 11 games in 2020, the 26-year-old has totaled 50 tackles (41 solo), including three sacks, three interceptions, seven pass defenses and two fumble recoveries.

  • Returns to full practice

    Hilton (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hilton is on track to return Sunday against Jacksonville after missing Pittsburgh's last four games. If the cornerback doesn't suffer any setbacks in practice this week, he should make a Steelers defense that's allowing only 19.0 points per game even tougher to score against.

  • Slated to return Sunday

    Hilton (shoulder) is expected to return for this Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Hilton has missed the last four games despite logging two full weeks of limited or full practices, and coach Mike Tomlin said he has "extreme optimism" that the cornerback will be cleared for Week 11. The 26-year-old gave up 167 passing yards in coverage through the first five games, but he makes the defense even more versatile, as he added three sacks and an interception in that stretch as well.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Hilton (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old began the week as a full practice participant, but he finished the week with some limitations and won't be suiting up Sunday. It's Hilton's fourth straight absence, and Cameron Sutton should continue filling in as the nickel corner for Pittsburgh.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Hilton (shoulder) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN NFL Nation reports.

    Analysis: Hilton was able to practice fully earlier this week, but it appears that the shoulder injury that has kept him off the field since Week 6 is still bothering him to some extent. The cornerback had been off to a tremendous start before getting hurt, with 29 tackles, three sacks and an interception in four games played.

  • Practicing in full

    Hilton (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hilton hasn't suited up since Week 6 due to a lingering shoulder injury, but it looks like he's now on track to retake the field against Cincinnati on Sunday. If he's indeed able to suit up, Hilton will resume operating as Pittsburgh's top nickel cornerback.

  • Inactive Week 9

    Hilton (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, so it's no surprise he's sitting out at Dallas. Cameron Sutton is expected to work as the nickel corner in Hilton's absence.

  • Doubtful for Week 9

    Hilton (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Hilton managed to string together a trio of limited practices this week, but it doesn't look like he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's game in Dallas. If Hilton has to miss another game, Cameron Sutton will stand to once again slot into the nickel role.

  • Won't play Week 8

    Hilton (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old was considered questionable with the shoulder issue but won't be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Cameron Sutton figures to see more work in the nickel role in Hilton's absence.

  • Questionable against Ravens

    Hilton (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

    Analysis: Hilton's limited practice session Friday was just his second appearance on the practice field in the past two weeks, and it was reported earlier in the week that he's unlikely to suit up, so he seems to have less than a 50/50 chance to play. If Hilton can't go, safety Cameron Sutton could slide into the nickel cornerback role.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Hilton (shoulder) is not expected to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Hilton has been out since Week 6 with an injured shoulder, and looks like he may be in line for another absence in a crucial divisional game against the Ravens. Cameron Sutton is in line to handle nickel duties if Hilton is unable to play.

  • Logs limited practice session

    Hilton (shoulder) was back at practice as a limited participant Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin indicated at the onset of the practice week that we would see Hilton at some point, though it's not yet certain he will be ready to suit up Sunday against rival Baltimore. Hilton sat out Week 7's battle of AFC undefeated teams against Tennessee, but with a limited session at midweek, there's at least a reasonable chance of him suiting up versus the Ravens' eighth-ranked scoring offense.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Hilton (shoulder) was a nonparticipant at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin said Hilton is expected to practice at some point this week, but he's beginning the week as a nonparticipant. The 26-year-old sat out Sunday's win over the Texans after sustaining the shoulder injury Week 6.

  • Won't face Titans

    Hilton (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hilton will miss his first game of the season due to a shoulder injury sustained Week 6. He stands to be replaced by Cam Sutton, as Kaboly notes, while Justin Layne could also see a slight uptick in snaps.

  • Exits contest Sunday

    Hilton (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Hilton sustained the injury during the middle stages of the fourth quarter, so it's likley he won't return to action. As long as he's sidelined, look for Justin Layne and James Pierre to see an uptick in cornerback snaps.

  • Team-high eight stops in Week 5

    Hilton had a team-leading eight tackles (all solo) and one sack in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Hilton led the Pittsburgh defense in tackles for a third consecutive week, while adding his third sack of the year Sunday. The 26-year-old has been one of the team's most consistent defenders over the first four weeks of the season, having recorded 29 tackles (27 solo) along with one interception.

  • Huge game leads to win

    Hilton led the defense with eight tackles (all solo) and an interception during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The fourth-year defensive back recorded his first interception this season -- and the fifth of his career -- returning a Deshaun Watson pass intended for Kenny Stills at the Pittsburgh 13-yard line to keep the deficit at 21-20. The Steelers converted the turnover into a touchdown, giving them their first 3-0 start since 2010.

  • Paces defense, records sack

    Hilton led the defense with eight tackles (all solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The eight tackles were one shy of matching his career best of nine, which came in the second game of his rookie 2017 season. Hilton also recovered a fumble following a Bud Dupree sack of Drew Lock -- the first of seven by the Steelers -- with the other six coming against backup Jeff Driskel. Overall, the Pittsburgh defense was credited with 19 quarterback hits.

  • Receives second-round tender

    The Steelers are giving Hilton a second-round tender, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hilton has missed just one game since being drafted by the Steelers in 2017. He started eight of 16 games last season and accumulated 65 tackles (44 solo) in the process. The 26-year-old also added 1.5 sacks and an interception.

  • Rare sack in win

    Hilton had three tackles (two solo) including a half sack, in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The restricted free agent finishes the season with 65 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Hilton also had an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games. The Steelers will need to make salary cap room if they want to retain Hilton's services -- he is one of 19 free agents heading into the offseason.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Hilton totaled eight tackles (five solo) in Pittsburgh's 16-10 loss Sunday.

    Analysis: This was arguably Hilton's best game but still offered little fantasy value outside of IDP leagues that recognize tackles. The loss now means that the Steelers need help to make the playoffs and must also win against the Ravens in Week 17.

  • Records first sack of season

    Hilton totaled six tackles (all solo) including a sack in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Hilton had been relatively quiet on defense the past few games, but his season-high six tackles put him on pace to match his career-best 64 tackles from his rookie season in 2017, while the sack was his first of the year. Since dropping the first three games this season and allowing opponents to score an average of more than 28 points per game, the defense has stepped up, and Pittsburgh has won four of the last five games, holding the opposition to an average of less than 17 points per game.…read more
