Hill (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hill is still not ready to make his season debut. He will try again in Week 6.

Hill underwent a knee procedure Wednesday that will force him to miss the first three games of the season, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Hill will get some time off to rest an MCL injury, but is expected to return to the Tennessee defensive line following their Week 4 bye.

Hill (knee) was activated from the Titans' PUP list on Monday.

Hill missed the early portion of training camp while recovering from a knee injury suffered in late May. Now cleared to practice, Hill figures to increase his workload as the Titans' preseason schedule unfolds. Tennessee's projected starter at nose tackle, Hill recorded a career-best 33 tackles (26 solo) and three sacks in 15 games last season.

Hill (knee) was placed on the PUP list Thursday, the Titans' official site reports.

Hill can be taken off the list at any time during camp, but he would have to miss the first six weeks of the season if he isn't removed by week 1. The starting nose tackle job should remain Hill's as long as he's healthy enough to play.

Hill (knee) will remain out until training camp, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Hill suffered the injury near the end of last month, and team is yet to reveal any details. While it doesn't look to be a ligament tear, it's significant enough that Hill will be held out of action until camp.

Hill suffered a knee injury during Tuesday's practice session at Tennessee's organized team activities, The Tennessean reports.

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said the knee was a "little sore," but didn't feel the injury was serious. Hill is expected to undergo an MRI on Wednesday.

Hill (hamstring) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Steelers, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.

Hill's return is a boost to the Titans' defensive line, but with 18 tackles and two sacks in eight games, his IDP impact has been modest.

Hill (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

An earlier report indicated Hill would likely make his return, but apparently that's not quite a sure thing. He has 18 tackles (12 solo), two sacks and five passes defensed in eight games this season, and he last played in Week 8 against the Texans.

Hill (hamstring) should return this week, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.

He was close to being able to play last week, and should be healthy enough to take the field Monday against the Steelers.

Hill (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

Hill, who has 18 total tackles and two sacks on the year, is probably not much of an IDP anyway.

Titans DT Sammie Lee Hill suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's loss, and is doubtful for Week 3.

The Titans didn't come out and say it, but the media reports suggest Hill is highly unlikely to play against the Chargers. Rotating in off the bench, Hill has two tackles through two games. He's played 26 snaps.

Titans DT Sammie Lee Hill will miss Saturday's preseason game with an elbow injury, and is dealing with "ligament damage."

Hill is expected to be ready for Week 1, but will wear a brace. Hill is ticketed for an every-down role after playing just 419 snaps for the Lions last season.

DC Jerry Gray says the Titans may feature more 3-4 looks in 2013, but will stick with a 4-3 base defense.

"I think with the personnel (we have), it gives us a possibility to do more of that, to where we can go out there and maybe play 8-10 snaps of game (in the 3-4) and not have to take our good football players off the field," Gray said. New DT Sammie Lee Hill has the bulk to play nose tackle in 3-4 looks, while fellow new additions Ropati Pitoitua and Moise Fokou both have extensive experience in 3-4 schemes.

The Titans view new DT Sammie Lee Hill as a three-down player.

Hill played just 419 snaps for the Lions last season, and only 437 in 2011. The Titans also view Hill as more of a run-stuffer than pass rusher. Hill is a defensive tackle, but has always been better at creating pressure than plugging gaps. To date, the Titans have had a curious offseason.

Titans signed DT Sammie Lee Hill to a three-year, $11.4 million contract, with $4 million guaranteed.

Hill is 26 years old and entering his fifth year out of Stillman. While he's flashed potential and certainly possesses some upside, Hill is a bit of a misfit as a 6-foot-4, 329-pound interior tackle whose strength is penetrating the pocket. He's weak against the run. The Titans have doled out numerous big contracts over the past 24-26 hours. We're just not sure they've gotten much better.

The Titans are expected to sign free agent DT Sammie Lee Hill.

We'd anticipate a fairly cheap deal for Hill, who hasn't been very productive the past four seasons while backing up Ndamukong Suh and Corey Williams, and more recently Nick Fairley in Detroit. Hill goes 6-foot-4 and 329 pounds.

Free agent DT Sammie Lee Hill will visit the Titans.

The Titans are moving fast. Hill is reportedly drawing interest from four teams, but Tennessee is his first known visit. It's possible he won't leave town without a deal.

MLive.com's Anwar Richardson says "at least four teams" have shown interest in free agent DT Sammie Lee Hill.

None of the teams that are interested are known, but Hill, 26, is expected to have a decent market as a young, pocket-pushing tackle. Coming off a down year that saw Hill register just 15 tackles in 15 games, he should come relatively cheap.

The player rep for free agent DT Sammie Lee Hill called it "pretty much a certainty" that his client will hit the open market.

The Lions are negotiating with Cliff Avril and Chris Houston after re-upping DeAndre Levy, and probably never even submitted Hill an offer. Just 26 years old, 329-pound Hill could be a cheap sleeper for defensive tackle-needy teams.

Lions placed DT Sammie Lee Hill (toe) on season-ending injured reserve.

The injury is not serious. Hill, 26, started three games this season and registered 15 tackles. Even though he didn't record a sack on the season, Pro Football Focus gave him a very solid grade in pass rush situations. Hill was credited with 17 quarterback hurries. He's one of several Detroit defensive players scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.
