All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson is not expected to play Thursday when his Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL Network reported.
Hendrickson, who is listed as questionable for the game, did not practice this week after sustaining a hip injury during Cincinnati's 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
As for the Steelers (4-1), starting safety DeShon Elliott traveled to Cincinnati and is expected to play against the Bengals (2-4).
Elliott will no longer have an injury designation after previously being listed as questionable for personal reasons.
Hendrickson, 30, led the NFL in sacks last season with 17.5 and has four in six games in 2025.
A Pro Bowl selection in each of his previous four seasons with Cincinnati, he was an All-Pro in 2024, Hendrickson has 81 sacks, 235 tackles and 15 forced fumbles in 116 career games (87 starts) with the New Orleans Saints (2017-20) and Bengals.
The Bengals placed Mike Gesicki on injured reserve with a pectoral injury on Wednesday and ruled out fellow tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) for Thursday's game. Wide receiver Charlie Jones (ribs) and guard Lucas Patrick (calf) are listed as questionable for Thursday's contest.
Elliott, 28, missed two games after sustaining a knee injury in the season opener against the New York Jets. He has 24 tackles, one interception, one sack and one forced fumble in three games.
The Steelers previously ruled out safety and special teams captain Miles Killebrew (knee) and wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) for Thursday's game. Malik Harrison (knee), who is on the designated for return list, is questionable after turning in a limited practice on Wednesday.
