The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Browns on Sunday for their fifth consecutive win and seventh victory in their last eight games, improving to 9-4. However, this particular triumph came with a price.
Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who made his first Pro Bowl last season, suffered a broken wrist against the Browns and is expected to miss a few weeks.
Hendrickson has had another good year so far. He's logged six sacks, two forced fumbles, three passes defended, and 22 quarters hits in 13 games.
This is a major blow to the Bengals' pass rush, and they'll likely look to second-year defensive end Joseph Ossai, who they took in the third round in 2021, to make up the slack for a while.
