Expected to play against the Bills while the Bengals tend to his ankle injury is Trey Hendrickson.
When the Bengals host the Bills, they ought to still have one of the best pass rushers in the league.
When the Cincinnati Bengals played the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, they had a slight scare.
Trey Hendrickson, a pass rusher, briefly went down due to an ankle injury. He made it back into the game, even forcing the fumble that proved to be the game-winning play.
After a day to conduct tests, the news seems to be as good as it could have likely been.
Hendrickson’s ankle injury will be monitored throughout the week, according to head coach Zac Taylor, but the seasoned pass rusher should play on Sunday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills.
The defense is playing so well because of Hendrickson’s success this season. His eight season-long sacks
Having him is especially significant as the team gets ready to try to contain quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills, just like they did in the previous season’s Divisional Round of the playoffs. Even though Hendrickson only had one quarterback hit in that contest, his ability to pressure the quarterback is essential to any scheme that defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo devises.
If he is limited during the week or misses a practice, it doesn’t seem like we should be too concerned. All he needs to do is be well by Sunday.
