Cincinnati Bengals Cam Sample (96) celebrates after a successful play during their game against the Seattle Seahawks at Paycor Stadium on Sunday October 15, 2023. Bengals were up 14-10 at halftime.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Cam Sample will miss the 2024 season with a torn Achilles, head coach Zac Taylor said.

Sample, 24, went down during 11-on-11 drills Thursday and was carted off the field.

A fourth-round draft pick by the Bengals in 2021 out of Tulane, Sample started two of his 17 games played last season, with 29 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks and eight quarterback hits.

In three seasons with the Bengals, Sample has 68 career tackles, five sacks and 20 quarterback hits in 47 games (three starts).
