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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. His activity at practice next week will be worth monitoring ahead of another pivotal game at Buffalo.

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.
