Trey Hendrickson Out; Cam Taylor-Britt Inactive for Thursday Night Football
The Cincinnati Bengals confirmed that edge rusher Trey Hendrickson will miss Thursday Night Football due to a hip injury. He was designated as questionable earlier in the week and did not participate in practices following the team’s last game.
Trey Hendrickson’s Condition
Hendrickson’s injury forced him out of the second half in the previous game. While he recovers, rookie edge rusher Shemar Stewart will take on a larger role. Stewart is making his return after missing four games due to an ankle issue.
Inactive Players for the Bengals
- Trey Hendrickson – Edge rusher
- Cam Taylor-Britt – Cornerback
- Matt Lee – Center
- Jermaine Burton – Wide receiver
- Tanner Hudson – Tight end (concussion)
- McKinnley Jackson – Defensive tackle
Cam Taylor-Britt’s absence is notable. In the five games he participated in, he contributed 61 percent of the defensive snaps. He was a starter in all 17 games of the previous season.
Inactive Players for the Steelers
- Calvin Austin – Wide receiver (shoulder)
- Andrus Peat – Offensive guard
- Logan Lee – Defensive tackle
- DeMarvin Leal – Defensive end
Both teams will adjust their strategies as they face off without several key players. The absence of Hendrickson and Taylor-Britt could significantly impact the Bengals’ performance on defense. Fans are eager to see how the team adapts under the changing lineup.
