Bouncing back from ankle surgery
Hubbard underwent an offseason procedure to address an ankle injury that he dealt with last season, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, Hubbard -- who missed two regular-season games in 2023 due to a right ankle issue -- indicated that he had a complete deltoid reconstruction in his ankle as well as a TightRope procedure. Now that the defensive end has had his ankle repaired, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reported Monday that Hubbard says he's a few weeks ahead of schedule in his recovery and believes that he'll be ready for training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Says he's in best shape of career
Hubbard believes he's in the best shape of his career heading into the 2023 season, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. "This is the best I've felt in my whole career by a landslide physically," Hubbard said.
ANALYSIS
Hubbard added that his goals are to win the Super Bowl and reach double-digit sacks in the regular season. He almost accomplished both goals in 2021, as Hubbard had 7.5 sacks in the regular season and three more in the playoffs while the Bengals reached the Super Bowl before losing to the Rams. Hubbard missed two games in 2022 due to a calf injury but believes an improved fitness routine will help him avoid injuries and increase his effectiveness moving forward.

Hubbard has become one of the pillars of the Bengals' defense after being drafted in the third round in 2018, recording at least 60 tackles in four consecutive seasons and at least six sacks in four of his five NFL campaigns. While his career high in the latter category is just 8.5, making him more of a floor player than upside asset for fantasy purposes, his run-stuffing prowess and ability to seal the edge makes him a perfect complement to Trey Hendrickson in the Cincinnati pass rush. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has had Hubbard at his disposal for his entire tenure with the team, so there should be no surprises in terms of usage.
