Fresh on the heels of doing a small contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals, star defensive end Trey Hendrickson watched practice from the sidelines on Monday.
After practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Hendrickson’s status was a mixture of typical veteran rest day stuff, albeit added it was due to something with the lower body.
“Just limited today and tomorrow. We’ll just ease him through the week…lower body,” Taylor said, according to CLNS Media’s Mike Petraglia.
Bengals fans, understandably, are pretty tense when it comes to lower body issues right now due to the plight of quarterback Joe Burrow.
But this situation with Hendrickson doesn’t sound too out of the ordinary for all parties. The team had a string of four straight practices to start camp that saw some big names take days off or reduced workloads near the end out of an abundance of caution.
This likely isn’t any different and aligns with how Taylor and Co. continue to work rotations along the offensive line and even at quarterback.
