Trey Hendrickson Injury Update
According to Ian Rapoport, Trey Hendrickson suffered a hyperextended knee when Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown fell on him. Following the injury, the veteran pass rusher is set to undergo an MRI, with his team hoping for a short-term absence.
The Texans ended the Cincinnati Bengals' four-game winning streak, losing the Week 10 matchup by a single point. The Bengals were outdone by the brilliance of C. J. Stroud and the rest of the Houston offense on Sunday.
What happened to Trey Hendrickson?
Hendrickson got injured in the most unusual way possible. The Bengals' star pass rusher got hurt in one of the last plays of the game. Hendrickson went down and needed the help of medics and trainers to leave the gridiron after getting rolled on late.
The Cincinnati Bengals could have done without injury to a key part of their defense. That's because they have a short week and head to Baltimore to face the Lamar Jackson-led Ravens on Thursday Night Football.
When will Trey Hendrickson return?
It's unclear when Trey Hendrickson will return to the gridiron. The sack master got injured less than 24 hours ago, and the results of his MRI are not yet in.
However, the Bengals will hope that the injury isn't too serious, as Hendrickson is by far the best defensive end of the franchise. Whatever the diagnosis is, it's unlikely that Hendrickson would be fit enough for the TNF game against the Ravens.
The Week 11 game looks too close, and the Ravens' medical team would prefer that he heal sufficiently to avoid aggravating the injury.
The former New Orleans Saints star is a two-time Pro Bowler and a key reason why the Bengals recovered after a shaky start to the season. Unfortunately, he got hurt in a freak injury, but the team will hope that he returns in time for another deep postseason run.
As per recent updates, the MRI confirmed a hyperextension for the Bengals star.
