It is uncertain whether Bengals' pass rusher Trey Hendrickson will be able to play against the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Hendrickson suffered a hyperextended knee in the previous game against the Texans, but his MRI came back negative. There are conflicting reports about his status, with one source saying it would be an "uphill battle" for him to play, but not ruling out the possibility due to his determination. Despite the injury, Hendrickson was seen participating in drills during Tuesday's practice. If he is unable to play, the Bengals would rely on rookie Myles Murphy and veterans Cam Sample and Joseph Ossai at the defensive end position. The absence of Hendrickson, along with defensive end Sam Hubbard's ankle injury, could leave the Bengals vulnerable against the Ravens' strong rushing offense led by quarterback Lamar Jackson. The Bengals' game against the Ravens is being considered a crucial matchup in their playoff push, as a loss would drop them to 5-5 overall.
