The Cincinnati Bengals have won a lot of games lately, but it hasn't come without setbacks. Last week, edge rusher Trey Hendrickson suffered a broken wrist, putting him on the shelf for a few weeks.

Hendrickson may have some company in that regard soon. On Sunday, defensive end Sam Hubbard went down with a calf issue and didn't return.

Hubbard's name may not move the needle but he's been a steady contributor for the Bengals since he was drafted in 2018. Hubbard has played in 74 games with 58 starts and has amassed 30.5 sacks (leads the Bengals this season with 6.5).

There hasn't been any word on the extent of Hubbard's injury. But, there's little doubt the Bengals have their fingers crossed that it's not serious.
