Bengals’ Trey Hendrickson Exits With Back Injury, Ruled Out in Loss to Packers

His status for Thursday at Pittsburgh remains uncertain, heightening concerns over a defense built around the 2024 sack leader.

Overview

  • Hendrickson left late in the second quarter at Lambeau Field with a back injury and was ruled out early in the third after initially being listed as questionable.
  • Broadcast footage showed him in visible discomfort on the sideline before he went to the locker room with trainers, and he had two tackles before exiting.
  • Cincinnati lost 27-18 to Green Bay and fell to 2-4, compounding a rough stretch for a team already working through offensive struggles.
  • Multiple injuries hit the Bengals in the game, including tight end Mike Gesicki being declared out with a pectoral issue, with reports noting additional concerns along the offensive line.
  • Hendrickson entered the day with four sacks on the season after leading the NFL in 2024 and is on a revised one-year, $29 million deal as reports of prior trade interest add longer-term roster questions.
