Trey Hendrickson Fantasy Stats

The Cincinnati Bengals plan to gather information about impending free-agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson's market at the NFL scouting combine in late February in Indianapolis, according to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. It seems likely that Hendrickson will end up walking in free agency, but there is also a possibility that Cincy looks to place the franchise tag on the 31-year-old veteran and then attempt to trade him. That scenario is unlikely, especially since Hendrickson played in only seven games in 2025 and ended the year on Injured Reserve with a hip/pelvis injury that required core-muscle surgery. The Bengals used the franchise tag on him last year, so tagging him a second straight season would cost them $30.2 milion in 2026. Despite his injury, Hendrickson will have plenty of suitors if he makes it to the open market after having back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024.

A Cincinnati Bengals team source told NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe that it seems inevitable that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) will leave this offseason. The Bengals could either let Hendrickson walk in free agency or slap the franchise tag on him and try to trade him. Wolfe says to keep an eye on the Indianapolis Colts. Indy wants to be aggressive, and they made the splash move to acquire cornerback Sauce Gardner from the Jets last season. Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and defensive-line coach Marion Hobby both have familiarity with Hendrickson from their time as coaches in Cincy for four-plus seasons. The 31-year-old pass-rusher had back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024 but played only seven games in 2025 due to hip/pelvis injuries. Hendrickson would immediately make Indy's pass rush more formidable if he were to join them in free agency or via trade.

The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that there's "little reason to believe" that star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) "will willingly return to Cincinnati." It also doesn't make much financial sense for the Bengals to spend the majority of their free-agent budget to force Hendrickson to come back. The 31-year-old, who had back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in 2023 and 2024, is coming off an injury that required surgery and turns 32 in December. Other factors working against him are the fact that there is a solid draft class and free-agent market at edge rusher. Still, Hendrickson's compensation on the open market this offseason would likely start at or near the $29 million he made in 2026. The Bengals are unlikely to entertain a multi-year deal, so the only way to retain him would be via the franchise tag, which would cost $30.2 million for one year. There is also a tag-and-trade scenario, but the most likely outcome is the Bengals letting Hendrickson walk in free agency.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have officially placed defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson (hip) on IR. The move comes as the 31-year-old underwent hip/pelvis surgery this week, effectively ending his time in the regular season. Per Schefter, he's expected to be sidelined for six weeks as he recovers. It's a disappointing end to a disappointing season for Hendrickson, who could only amass 16 tackles, four sacks, and a fumble forced in seven appearances following a hold-in amidst a contract dispute with the team this summer. In his stead, teammates Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai (shin) should continue leading Bengals' edge rushers in snaps, with Cedric Johnson and Cam Sample mixing in behind them on occasion.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson will undergo core-muscle surgery this week that is expected to keep him out for around six weeks, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hendrickson initially was injured in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers and then aggravated his injury two weeks later against the New York Jets. The 31-year-old All-Pro has been out ever since and will now miss the remainder of the 2025 regular season. His injury was not improving despite rest and rehab. Hendrickson was a massive disappointment for fantasy managers who selected him in IDP leagues. The four-time Pro Bowler will finish with only four sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), and a forced fumble in seven games this year after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons for the Bengals in 2023 and 2024. Cincy will be hoping Hendrickson can return to his pre-injury form in 2026.

Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, according to the team's official website. The Bengals' best defensive player hasn't played since suffering a hip injury during Cincinnati's Week 8 loss to the New York Jets. Cincinnati's defense has been the worst in the NFL this season, allowing a league-high 31.2 points and 410 total yards per game. The 31-year-old Hendrickson was productive during the seven games he played, totaling four sacks and eight QB hits. He'll look to get back on the field for a big Week 15 game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens as the Bengals look to make a late-season push in a weak AFC North. However, the possibility looms that Hendrickson will have season-ending surgery. The Bengals need another win this weekend in Buffalo to convince Hendrickson to postpone surgery until the offseason.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) remains week-to-week and is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, per ESPN's Ben Baby. Hendrickson aggravated a hip injury in the Week 8 loss to the New York Jets and has missed the last four games. The 30-year-old All-Pro pass-rusher is on track to miss a fifth straight game, and it's fair to wonder if he'll end up having season-ending surgery on his hip instead of waiting until the offseason. The four-time Pro Bowler has been a huge disappointment for fantasy managers in IDP formats this year after he had back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons in both 2023 and 2024. Hendrickson has played in seven games in 2025 and has 16 tackles (11 solo), four sacks, eight QB hits, and a forced fumble.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) remains week-to-week with his hip/pelvis injury, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Hendrickson has missed the last four games after aggravating his hip injury in Week 8 and will be up in the air to return for a Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals' defense turned in a spirited effort in their Thanksgiving Day win over the Baltimore Ravens while slowing down Lamar Jackson and Company, but overall in 2025, their defense/special teams has not been all that trustworthy. Even though the Bengals have a better chance at sneaking into the playoffs with quarterback Joe Burrow back, Hendrickson may elect to undergo season-ending surgery on his hip/pelvis. Hendrickson will need to get on the practice field to have any shot of facing Buffalo next weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) will not play on Thursday in the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 13, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hendrickson will miss a fourth straight contest after aggravating a hip injury in the Week 8 loss to the New York Jets. The Bengals' defense/special teams will continue to be a unit to avoid in fantasy football, especially against the Ravens offense. The 30-year-old Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks a year ago, but he's only played in seven games so far in 2025 and has four sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), eight QB hits, and a forced fumble for the Bengals. His next chance to return will be in a Week 14 game versus the Buffalo Bills on the road on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots. Hendrickson will now miss his third game in a row due to a hip injury. It sounds like Hendrickson could need surgery to fix the issue, but he plans to delay that until the offseason. However, Hendrickson might elect to do it early if the Bengals get eliminated from playoff contention. For now, Hendrickson will sit out this weekend and hopefully return after that. Myles Murphy should continue to see an expanded role with Hendrickson out. The Bengals' defense should definitely be avoided in fantasy this weekend against the 9-2 Patriots.
