The Cincinnati Bengals will be without their best defensive player on Thanksgiving night at Baltimore in a key AFC North clash.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson did not practice Monday or Tuesday with a hip/pelvis injury, which makes his Thursday availability a slim chance. Later, he was formally ruled out for the game, which isn't a major surprise considering how things were looking.

If Hendrickson can get healthy and the Bengals can get into a rhythm, perhaps Cincinnati can make a run?
At least for now, the Bengals will have to find a way to win without Hendrickson this week.
