Rotowire
Hendrickson (chest) returned to practice Wednesday, Chris Roling of USA Today reports.
Hendrickson missed the last week of practice due to a chest bruise, but the 29-year-old defensive end was back in pads for Wednesday's session.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Cincinnati not interested in trade
Rotowire
The Bengals aren't interested in trading Hendrickson, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
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. At this stage, the team doesn't appear inclined to deal the star pass rusher, a stance that also applies to wideout Tee Higgins, who also requested a trade earlier this offseason.

Rotowire
Hendrickson recorded 43 total tackles, including 17.5 sacks, in 17 games with the Bengals during the 2023 season.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Records another sack Thursday
Rotowire
Hendrickson posted two tackles (both solo), including one sack, in a loss to the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.
Hendrickson began the week with an unpromising outlook after he hyperextended his knee last Sunday against Houston, but he recovered quickly and was able to suit up versus Baltimore.

Hendrickson is up to 9.5 sacks on the season, tied for fourth-most in the NFL.

Rotowire
Hendrickson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hendrickson (knee) is day-to-day, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hendrickson (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Hendrickson briefly left Sunday's 31-17 win over the 49ers after getting stepped on, but he was able to return to the game shortly after. He did not participate in practice Wednesday, so the fact that he's improved enough to get in a limited session bodes well for his chances to suit up in Week 9 against the Bills.

Hendrickson came out of Sunday's game against the Niners with a left ankle injury. His return is questionable, according to Tracy Wolfson of CBS.

Rotowire
Hendrickson agreed to a one-year extension with the Bengals on Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Hendrickson joined the Bengals in 2021 on a four-year, $60 million contract after spending his first four seasons with the Saints. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of past last two seasons and has led the Bengals in sacks (22) and forced fumbles (six) over that span. The 2017 third-round pick will continue to be an integral piece for the Bengals' defense that finished fifth in points allowed per game (20.1) last season.

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Isn't playing Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Hendrickson (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
As expected, Hendrickson is now slated to miss his first contest of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of the fractured wrist he suffered last weekend versus the Browns. Per Jay Morrison of The Athletic, Hendrickson won't be placed on injured reserve, meaning his next opportunity to take the field now comes Week 16 against the Patriots. Joseph Ossai is now anticipated to fill Hendrickson's vacated starting defensive end spot, while both Cameron Sample and Jeff Gunter are candidates to receive rotational snaps behind Ossai and Sam Hubbard.
