Full practice Wednesday

The Bengals really missed Hilton against the Ravens last week, doubly so once they lost Dax Hill early in the game.

Won't play Sunday
Hilton (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Hilton didn't practice during Week 5 prep, so it's not surprising to see him downgraded from questionable to out. In his absence, Cam Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton are candidates for increased snaps behind Dax Hill and DJ Turner.
Questionable versus Baltimore
Hilton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Hilton didn't practice at all this week, suggesting he's one the wrong side of the questionable tag. The veteran slot cornerback has appeared in all four games this season, routinely playing over 60 percent of the defensive snaps. Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Cam Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton would be in line for cornerback duties if Hilton can't play.
Misses practice Wednesday
Hilton (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hilton appears to have picked up a knee injury during the Bengals' Week 4 win over the Panthers. He has two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Ravens. Through the first four games of the season, Hilton has accrued 12 tackles (eight solo) and has played 43 or more defensive snaps in three of those contests.
Career-high tackle total in 2023
Hilton racked up 84 tackles (64 solo), two sacks, eight passes defensed, two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2023.
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 his 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.
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.
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 on 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 Sunday
Hilton registered 10 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 24-18 win versus Buffalo.
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.
