Bengals Hire New Athletic Trainer For 2022 NFL Season
CINCINNATI — The Bengals officially announced the hiring of Matt Summers on Wednesday. He's their new director of sports medicine and head athletic trainer.
The move comes after Paul Sparling decided to retire after 30 years with the team.

Matt has a tremendous reputation and is known for his ability to build strong connections with the athletes he works with. We pride ourselves on providing elite medical care and look forward to the role Matt will play in continuing this high standard.”
