CINCINNATI (AP) — Trey Hendrickson was placed on injured reserve by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, ending his season.
The All-Pro defensive end will undergo core muscle surgery. He has missed six games this season, including the last five, due to a hip/pelvis injury.
The move to injured reserve finishes a frustrating season for Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17 1/2 sacks last season. He is in the final year of a restructured contract worth $29 million after holding out during training camp.
In seven games this year, Hendrickson had 16 tackles and four sacks.
Without Hendrickson, Cincinnati has only 21 sacks, fourth-lowest in the league. The Bengals defense is also ranked near the bottom of the league in most categories going into Sunday’s game against Baltimore.
Hendrickson is not expected to be back with the Bengals next season as he becomes a free agent. He signed with Cincinnati in 2021, and his 61 sacks over the past five seasons are fourth-most in the league.
