Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Hendrickson has not played since aggravating a hip injury in Week 8 versus the Jets. Sunday will mark the fourth game of the season he'll miss due to injury. The 30-year-old could reportedly require surgery in the offseason, but he plans to delay the procedure to have a chance to return for Cincinnati this season. However, should the team be eliminated from playoff contention, the standout pass rusher's plans could change. Myles Murphy will likely maintain an extended role while Hendrickson remains out.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Doubtful again for Week 12
Rotowire
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that the Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Patriots, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hendrickson has not played since Week 8 and appears to be trending toward sitting out versus New England on Sunday, which would mark his fourth consecutive missed game. The standout pass rusher could reportedly require surgery this offseason to address a core-muscle injury but intends to delay the procedure in order to retake the field and contribute for Cincinnati this season. That said, the Bengals currently sit at a 3-7 record, and Henderson's plans could change if the team is ultimately eliminated from playoff contention.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Could need surgery in offseason
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip/pelvis), who is inactive for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, could require surgery after the season to address a core-muscle injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hendrickson will miss his third game of the season due to the injury, which he may have aggravated while playing at less than 100 percent in the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Jets. Though the Bengals have considered placing Hendrickson on injured reserve to give him extra time to heal, the team's current plan is to have the star pass rusher remain on the roster and rehab the injury with the aim of getting back to the field as soon as possible. While Hendrickson is aiming to delay any potential surgery until the offseason, his plans could change if the 3-6 Bengals fade from the playoff picture in the weeks to come.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Remains sidelined in Week 11
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) won't play Sunday against the Steelers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hendrickson hasn't suited up since aggravating his hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 8 loss to the Jets. His next chance to play will come Nov. 23 against the Patriots. Myles Murphy will likely maintain an expanded role in Hendrickson's absence Sunday. Per Baby, Hendrickson is considered week-to-week.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Doubtful for Week 11
Rotowire
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hendrickson wasn't present at practice Monday with the Bengals coming out of their bye week. Hendrickson missed the Bengals' Week 9 game against the Bears prior to the open date and looks poised to miss a second straight contest due to the injury. Through seven games this season, Hendrickson has recorded 16 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. Following back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, it's been a down year for the soon-to-be 31-year-old edge rusher.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Sitting out Week 9
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
As expected, the star edge rusher will be held out for the second time this season after he had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend upon logging no practice activity from Wednesday through Friday. Though the Bengals had originally provided indications that they weren't open to moving Hendrickson -- a pending free agent -- ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported Sunday that the team may no longer be as firm in its stance. The result of Sunday's game could be important in determining the Bengals' plans ahead of the deadline; a loss would drop the team to 3-6 and significantly dim its hopes of making a push for a playoff spot.

Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bears, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hendrickson didn't take the practice field Wednesday or Thursday after aggravating his hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 8 loss to the Jets. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to maintain a chance to suit up Sunday against the Bears.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Logs DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The veteran edge rusher aggravated his previous hip injury in the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Jets, so it's no surprise that he's missing Wednesday's practice. Hendrickson was labeled "day-to-day" by head coach Zac Taylor earlier in the week, suggesting he has a chance to play in the Week 9 matchup against the Bears. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up Sunday.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Head coach Zac Taylor relayed Monday that Hendrickson is considered "day-to-day" due to a hip injury that he aggravated during the Bengals' 39-38 loss to the Jets on Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hendrickson was seen limping to the locker room during halftime of Sunday's contest and was ruled out for the second half, which ended his day with one solo tackle on 23 defensive snaps. His practice participation over the coming week will be closely monitored by medical staff as he works through his injury, and he is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Bengals' Week 9 clash against the Bears this Sunday. Myles Murphy saw a significant increase in defensive snaps in Week 8, and he would be in line for a larger role in Week 9 if Hendrickson is on a snap count or ruled out.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Looks like long shot for Week 7
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) remains listed as questionable and is pushing to play in Thursday's game against the Steelers, but he appears to be a "long shot" to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The star pass rusher exited Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers due to a back issue before the Bengals labeled his injury as a hip concern on their official Week 7 report. Despite taking a questionable tag into Thursday, Hendrickson wasn't able to take any on-field reps during the Bengals' walk-through sessions leading up to the game, and the quick turnaround for the Week 7 contest looks as though it'll work against him in getting cleared to play. The Bengals are likely to put Hendrickson through a pregame workout before announcing an official decision on his status when they release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) did not practice Wednesday but is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Hendrickson was listed as a DNP for all three practice sessions this week due to a hip injury he sustained during the Bengals' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Even with the lack of practice, the veteran pass rusher has a shot at playing in Thursday's AFC North tilt. Myles Murphy, Cameron Sample and rookie first-rounder Shemar Stewart would be in line to see an increase in defensive snaps if Hendrickson is limited or unable to play Thursday.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Estimated as DNP
Rotowire
Hendrickson (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Hendrickson is dealing with a hip issue, not a back injury as previously reported. He's been labeled as day-to-day, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With the quick turnaround from Sunday, it might be a challenge for Hendrickson to be ready to play Thursday night against the Steelers.

Rotowire
Hendrickson is considered day-to-day after sustaining a back injury in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hendrickson received positive results on his MRI and likely has a chance to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Steelers. The veteran edge rusher has appeared in all six of Cincinnati's games this season, recording 15 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. His practice estimation Monday and Tuesday will likely provide a better indication on his availability for the Week 7 contest.

He totaled three QB hits in the narrow victory, including a third-quarter sack of Joe Flacco. Hendrickson is off to a great start after finishing with 17.5 regular-season sacks in each of the past two campaigns.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Holding out from camp
Rotowire
Hendrickson (contract dispute) isn't reporting for the start of training camp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
His decision to stay away from the team -- rather than showing up but not practicing like Ja'Marr Chase did last year -- means Hendrickson will be fined $50,000 per day until he reports. The 30-year-old pass rusher is set to make $15.8 million in base salary in 2025, the final season of his current contract, after he recorded 57.0 sacks in 65 regular-season games over the last four years. Hendrickson has expressed frustration with the Bengals a few times now, including getting permission in March to seek a trade. He skipped most of OTA practices and all of June minicamp before contract discussions resumed in mid-June.
