Trey Hendrickson Not Traveling with Bengals to LA, Will Travel on His Own and Play

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson will not travel with the team to Los Angeles for their game against the Rams on Sunday.

Hendrickson is dealing with a back injury that he suffered in the Bengals' win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but the Bengals have decided to hold him out as a precaution.

Hendrickson is one of the Bengals' best pass rushers, and his absence will be a big blow to the team's defense.

In 10 games this season, Hendrickson has recorded 6.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and 25 quarterback hits. He is tied for sixth in the NFL in sacks and is a big reason why the Bengals have one of the best defenses in the league.

Despite his injury, Hendrickson is expected to play in Sunday's game.

He will travel to Los Angeles on his own and join the team at the hotel. He will then be evaluated by the team's medical staff before the game to determine if he is able to play.

If Hendrickson is unable to play, the Bengals will likely start Sam Hubbard at defensive end.

Hubbard has started seven games this season and has recorded 3.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss. He is a solid player, but he is not as good as Hendrickson.

The Bengals are hoping that Hendrickson will be able to play on Sunday.

He is a key part of their defense, and they need him to be at his best if they want to beat the Rams and stay in the playoff race.
