Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) is slated to sign a four-year, $112 million contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. After a trade agreement that would have sent star defensive end Maxx Crosby (from the Raiders) to the Ravens in exchange for two first-round picks fell apart, it didn't take long for the team to pivot to adding another impact pass rusher. Hendrickson is recovering from December core-muscle surgery, but he'll presumably be past the issue once Baltimore's offseason program begins. In seven games with the Bengals in 2025, the 31-year-old recorded 16 tackles and four sacks, but in both of the two seasons prior to that Hendrickson racked up 17.5 sacks.

The Bengals will not place the franchise tag on Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) by Tuesday's deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. After two contentious offseasons between the two sides, Cincinnati will allow the veteran pass rusher to reach free agency. Injuries limited Hendrickson to just seven regular-season games in 2025, in which span he tallied 16 tackles (11 solo) including 4.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed and one forced fumble. However, he played all 17 regular-season games in both 2023 and 2024 and tallied 17.5 sacks each of those years, a ceiling that will make the 31-year-old defensive end one of the top available free agents on the open market. He's recovering from December core-muscle surgery, but it isn't expected to be an issue once his new team's offseason program begins in earnest.

The Bengals placed Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) on injured reserve Thursday. 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.

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.
