Bengals' Trey Hendrickson to Undergo Core Muscle Surgery, Likely Ending Season

The four-time Pro Bowler faces a roughly six-week recovery after a specialist evaluation in Philadelphia.

Overview

  • He has been out since exiting Week 8 with a hip/core issue and first suffered the injury in Week 6 against Green Bay after an attempted return that did not hold.
  • Head coach Zac Taylor ruled him out for Sunday and confirmed he is seeing Dr. William Meyers at the Vincera Institute.
  • ESPN reports the procedure is scheduled for this week with an expected recovery of about six weeks, which overlaps Cincinnati’s remaining four games.
  • Hendrickson has appeared in seven games this season with four sacks, one forced fumble and eight quarterback hits after leading the NFL in sacks last year.
  • The 31-year-old is on a one-year deal and is set for free agency, a situation analysts say could be affected by a shortened season and surgery.
