Both the Bengals and Texans currently stand in the season with a 5-4 score. According to Ian Rapoport, “#Bengals pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson, Top 10 in the NFL with 8.5 sacks, suffered a hyperextended knee when #Texans WR Noah Brown fell into him, source said. He’s having an MRI, with the hope going in that it’s a short-term absence.”
The edge rusher, Hendrickson, was standing when Noah Brown, the wide receiver of the Houston Texas, crashed into his leg backwards as he was not able to settle down his body.

After the impact, Hendrickson went down and clutched his leg. The Bengals are hoping for the best and an absence for a short period of time from Hendrickson’s side. However, with the MRI, more clarity will be gained regarding his injury.
In the current season, Hendrickson has posted twenty-seven tackles, two forced fumbles, and 8.5 sacks.
The Cincinnati Bengals will be facing the Baltimore Ravens in the next game and the edge rusher will be absent as he will be recovering to make his comeback later.
