Trey Hendrickson on trade deadline: I'm blessed to be where I am right now

Our Summary

During the offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive end Trey Hendrickson faced a contract dispute that included a trade request from Hendrickson. The issue was resolved before the regular season with a restructured deal, allowing Hendrickson to remain with the team. Despite this, the Bengals are currently struggling with a 3-6 record as the trade deadline approaches.

Hendrickson, who has been dealing with a hip injury, missed the recent game against the Bears. His performance has declined compared to previous seasons, with only 4.0 sacks in seven games this year, down from 17.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons. He last recorded a sack during the team's Week 5 loss to the Lions.
