Officially placed on IR
The Bengals placed Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Hendrickson's placement on IR officially rules him out for the remainder of the regular season. The standout defensive end is slated to undergo core-muscle surgery that will carry a six-week recovery timetable due to the lingering injury that's prevented him from suiting up since Week 8. Across seven regular-season appearances in 2025, Hendrickson tallied 16 tackles (including 4.0 sacks), one forced fumble and one pass defensed. He's set to become a free agent this offseason.

Set to undergo core-muscle surgery
Hendrickson is slated to undergo core-muscle surgery later this week and is expected to face a six-week recovery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously reported that Hendrickson was on track to see a specialist for his injury and would be out this coming weekend against the Ravens. With surgery now on tap, Hendrickson could be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, and he's thus a candidate for injured reserve. The standout defensive end hasn't played since Week 8 and has notched 16 tackles, 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defensed over seven appearances on the season.

Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.
Analysis: As expected, the 31-year-old is now in line to miss his fifth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a hip injury. In seven appearances this season, Hendrickson has recorded 16 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Myles Murphy to start on Cincinnati's defensive line.

Doubtful to face Buffalo
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hendrickson (hip) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson hasn't played since Week 8 and remains week-to-week. The 4-8 Bengals are extreme long shots to make the postseason, so Hendrickson could err on the side of caution and head into the offseason as healthy as possible ahead of a trip to free agency. It's been an injury-riddled 2025 campaign for the soon-to-be 31-year-old, as he's posted 16 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, eight total QB hits and one pass breakup across seven appearances.

Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Hendrickson (hip) remains week-to-week, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson has now missed the Bengals' last four games after aggravating a hip injury in Week 8 versus the Jets, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. It has been speculated that he could opt to undergo surgery to address the injury in the event that Cincinnati is eliminated from playoff contention, but after a win at Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day, the team's postseason hopes are still alive by a thread.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Hendrickson was never really able to get loose, and he was coming in and out of the game during the first half.

Analysis: 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.

Hendrickson later got to Goff again in the fourth quarter, securing his first multi-sack performance of the year.

Two huge plays
Hendrickson had a sack on the penultimate play of the game in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He also had a big pressure on Jaguars' quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the first half that led to Lawrence's first interception in the Bengals' end zone.
Analysis: Hendrickson doesn't have gaudy tackle or sack numbers, yet, but he's come up big in the second half in both of the Bengals' wins so far this season. The Bengals draw the Vikings on the road next week, which could be a big ask for the Bengals' defense and Hendrickson. That defense might be asked to do a lot in the ensuing weeks, given Joe Burrow's toe injury.

Analysis: Hendrickson still is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season.

Analysis: Hendrickson's statement makes clear his frustration at the current lack of negotiations regarding a long-term extension with Cincinnati and specifies that "the offers prior to the draft did not reflect the vision we shared and were promised last offseason if I continued to play at a high level." Relations between the standout pass rusher, who is coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons, and the Bengals are clearly on the trajectory of continual decline. In the wake of the team's decision to…read more

Gets permission to seek trade
The Bengals informed Henderson on Thursday that he may seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson, who is currently entering the final year of his deal with Cincinnati, led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 and will doubtless command a sizeable trade market from teams in need of a premier edge rusher. While the Bengals have faced pressure, including from quarterback Joe Burrow, to work out long-term deals with all of Hendrickson, Tee Higgins (who received the franchise tag) and Ja'Marr Chase (who is set to play out 2025 on his fifth-year option), the team is at least open to…read more

Leads league in sacks
Hendrickson compiled a career-high 46 tackles (33 solo), including 17.5 sacks, plus six pass breakups and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024.
Analysis: Hendrickson has now logged back-to-back seasons with 17.5 sacks, a total which in 2024 was enough to beat out Myles Garrett (14.0 sacks) to lead the NFL. He accomplished that feat in no small part due to an exceptional Week 18 showing against the Steelers, in which he made five tackles (three solo) including 3.5 sacks, plus one pass defensed. The 30-year-old edge rusher is heading into the final year of his contract with the Bengals, and he'll remain one of the top fantasy options at his…read more

Back in sack column Saturday
Hendrickson recorded three tackles (two solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Saturday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Broncos.
Analysis: Denver's offensive line was mostly able to keep Cincinnati's pass rush in check in Week 17, but Hendrickson was still able to manage half a sack. Going into the Bengals' matchup at Pittsburgh in Week 18, he's tied for the league lead in sacks this season (14.0) with Cleveland's Myles Garrett.

The Bengals aren't interested in trading Hendrickson, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, the defensive end requested a trade Wednesday, with Hendrickson's reported motivation being that he's seeking a long-term commitment from the Bengals. At present, the 29-year-old -- who finished last season with 17.5 sacks -- is signed with Cincinnati through 2025.

Analysis: Hendrickson was never assigned an injury designation during Sunday's contest and was ultimately able to play through this injury during the fourth quarter, per Rapoport.

Hendrickson recorded 28 tackles, six sacks, three passes defended and two forced fumbles coming into Week 14, and his absence will likely leave Joseph Ossai and Cameron Sample to step into bigger roles opposite…read more

Two sacks
Hendrickson was a menace to the Steelers on Sunday, registering two sacks among his five tackles and four total QB hits and recording one pass defensed.
Analysis: Hendrickson accomplished this despite missing a portion of the first half with what appeared to be a knee injury. We'll have to watch his practice status closely this week as the Bengals prepare for a road game at Tennessee.

Good to go for Monday
Hendrickson (neck) was a full participant at practice Saturday and carries no game status designation ahead of Monday's game at Cleveland, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson missed back-to-back practices Thursday and Friday, but it appears he'll be ready to play Week 8. The 2021 Pro Bowler has just 3.5 sacks through seven games in 2022, a far cry from his monster production in that category a season ago.

Considered day-to-day
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Hendrickson is day-to-day with a neck injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson did not practice Thursday after sustaining a bad stinger in Sunday's win over the Falcons. The 27-year-old totaled 14 sacks over 16 games in his first season with Cincinnati last year, and he's recorded a team-high 3.5 sacks through the first seven weeks of 2022. If Hendrickson is not able to increase his activity in practice Friday or Saturday, then expect Joseph Ossai to see increased usage opposite Sam Hubbard during Monday's game against the Browns.

Not practicing
Hendrickson (neck) was at practice Thursday, but he was not participating, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson exited Sunday's win over the Falcons early with the injury and did not return. If he's unable to go Monday against the Browns, it'd certainly be a blow to the team's pass rush. However, Joseph Ossai, who would see an uptick in work in Hendrickson's absence, did record his first career sack in Sunday's win. Hendrickson's status at practice Friday should give a better clue of his potential availability Monday.

Dealing with stinger
Hendrickson (neck) suffered a bad stinger during Sunday's win over Atlanta, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hendrickson has dealt with stingers in the past, and coach Zac Taylor hopes that the defensive end will be able to return soon. If the 27-year-old is forced to miss additional time, Joseph Ossai should handle increased work for the Bengals.

Will not return
Hendrickson (neck) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Leaves with injury

Exploits Jets offensive line Week 3
Hendrickson recorded four tackles (two solo), 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Hendrickson was a familiar face for Jets QB Joe Flacco on Sunday, as the quarterback endured 2.5 sacks and four QB hits from the former Pro Bowl pass rusher. Over the team's first three games, Hendrickson has amassed nine tackles, and he'll look to build off his strong Week 3 performance when the Bengals host the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Analysis: Hendrickson signed a four-year, $60 millon deal in free agency this offseason, and he's delivered in his first season with the Bengals, notching a career-high 14 sacks across 16 games.

Added to COVID-19 list
Cincinnati placed Hendrickson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After signing a four-year, $60 million deal in free agency this offseason, Hendrickson has met expectations during his first season in the Queen City. Before he was unable to get to Patrick Mahomes in last week's win over the Chiefs, Hendrickson had been credited with at least one half sack in 11 straight games, bringing his season total to a career-high 14. He'll still have a shot at adding to that total in Sunday's regular-season finale in Cleveland if he can test out of the NFL's COVID-19…read more

Done for Sunday

Analysis: Hendrickson's exit leaves a sizable hole in the Bengals' defensive line, most likely to filled by Cameron Sample.

Analysis: The deal includes $32 million across the first two years as the 26-year-old is coming off a 13.5-sack campaign in 2020 for the Saints. Hendrickson should fill the void in Cincinnati's pass rush left by the departure of Carl Lawson, who agreed to a deal with the Jets earlier Monday.

Piles up 13.5 sacks in 2020
Hendrickson totaled 25 tackles (22 solo), 13.5 sacks, one pass defended and a forced fumble across 15 regular-season games in 2020.
Analysis: After racking up just 6.5 sacks through his first three seasons, Hendrickson more than doubled that output with 13.5 in 2020. That robust total was good enough to tie with Aaron Donald for second in the NFL. Set to become a free agent in 2021, Hendrickson could look to parlay his big season into a new contract -- with New Orleans or elsewhere.

Analysis: After collecting two sacks and a forced fumble in a narrow loss to the defending champion Chiefs last Sunday, Hendrickson now finds himself in danger of missing his first contest of the year. The 2017 third-round draft choice was limited during Tuesday and Wednesday practices, but he now enters the Saints' Christmas Day matchup against Minnesota with a cloudy status given a DNP during Thursday's session.

Analysis: Hendrickson failed to record a tackle or sack in Week 12, but he bounced back against the Falcons by taking Matt Ryan down to reach 10.5 sacks on the season.

Analysis: Hendrickson is now up to 4.5 sacks on the season, tying him for fifth in the NFL with Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt. Given how well he's playing, Hendrickson could continue to hold down a starting role even though 2018 first-round pick Marcus Davenport (toe) was cleared to make his season debut Monday. Hendrickson still played 70 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps, while Davenport was limited to a 30 percent share.

Analysis: With Marcus Davenport (elbow) out the first two games of the season, Hendrickson earned nearly 57 percent of the Saints' snaps on defense en route to nine solo tackles and two sacks. Both Hendrickson and Davenport enter the weekend designated as questionable, so if both are active, the potential exists for the pair to share pass-rushing reps.

Second sack in loss
Hendrickson produced five tackles (all solo), two tackles for a loss and a sack in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.
Analysis: Hendrickson recorded his second sack in as many weeks and looks on track to decimate his previous career highs in tackles and sacks. Those career-best numbers came in 2019, when Hendrickson recorded 19.0 tackles and 4.5 sacks, and through two games in 2020, he's nearly halfway there. He'll face Green Bay in Week 3.

Analysis: The third-year man recorded career highs across the board in 2019, ending the season with 19 tackles (11 solo), 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble while playing 411 snaps on defense. He should continue to see substantial playing time in 2020, though it's unlikely that translates into a fantasy-relevant role.

Records three tackles in win
Hendrickson accounted for three tackles (two solo) and 0.5 sacks in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: The half-sack brought Hendrickson's season total to 4.5, though he's provided little else in the way of fantasy-relevant statistics on the year. In 2019, the defensive lineman has recorded just 18 tackles (10 solo) and one forced fumble to go with the above-mentioned sacks.
