Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson was placed on the IR on Thursday with a hip/pelvis injury, the team announced.
The move means he’ll miss a minimum of four games, which means he won’t get the opportunity to suit up again this season unless the Bengals make a playoff run.

Hendrickson recently had core-muscle surgery, according to CBS Sports. The procedure has a six-week recovery timetable.
The 31-year-old is in his ninth NFL season. He’s played seven games this season, recording 16 tackles and four sacks.
Hendrickson is set to become a free agent this offseason.
