Lol calm down. Yes, I was a 3 sport athlete in high school and played football collegiately at a small D1 school (FCS). So yes, given my experience, that is where my opinion comes from. I've had the injury and probably seen 20+ others. Several folks come back into the game after, several folks missed a week. But it's typically not some super serious injury which was my point. 

Two all pros out for the Ravens - Stanley and Humphry. Hopefully Trey can take advantage of the backup LT.

Their starting LG is also questionable.

He was out in week 2 as well and Trey could only manage a couple of hurries.

Lets hope he studied tape and finds things to exploit.

He's playing tomorrow

Sam is not

Exactly. I am not optimistic

I never said I wasn't optimistic, I just stated a fact.

I think Hendrickson WILL make hay tomorrow.

I'll I gotta say is Hendrickson is a tough mofo

I’m sure Trey remembers Mekari locking him down as well as anyone.

I can see where he's coming from, though. 

Boyd literally had the bone of his finger go through his skin after dislocating and came back the next week. 
Chase had a hairline hip fracture and slight tear of his labrum and still finished the game with it, having a huge game. 

Hendrickson puked as a ~2/3rd playing time player and kept playing and people seemed to hype that up way more.

In recent memory (5-7 years) Name me another round 2, or later, productive receiver that has played year 4 out on a rookie contract. Almost all of them threaten to hold out and get an extension. Meanwhile, Hendrickson has been paid and has much less financial risk.

But I agree with you, but from tees seat, he has a business decision to make. Bengals didn’t agree with the value tee wants, this is the risk of that. I’m not saying one way is right or wrong.

I found 3 outliers since 2016, that would be eligible, and maybe missed another that should be on the list. Chris Godwin, tee Higgins and Michael Pittman jr. you can make the case for Christian Kirk, but he is twice as good in Jax as he was in Arizona. At any rate, the precedent is to sign your day two or later guys before year 3. And AJ browns first three years is the closest production comp you can come up
With.

Really, because it was just a couple of weeks ago he played with broken ribs.

Don't encourage the stupidity. Higgins just played with broken ribs. You know how much it hurst for receivers to play with broken ribs? A WR simply cannot play with a hamstring injury, no matter how tough he is. If he tried to run full out on it, he would just injure it to the point it would be season ending.

Yes sir. Another reason for optimism.

We're talking about Trey, not Tee.

Sucks that Hubbard is out too. He is our best run defending DE, we could really use him against Baltimore.

Linebackers are going to have to have an exceptional game tonight to fill up those run lanes. At times, they're still a bit too easy to block which leads go big gains.

So sounds like that reply I got should go towards Frank. I was just commenting on the fact that doesn't make Hendrickson some superhuman tough man, which Frank seemed to be disagreeing with.

I think Tee is plenty tough, he's just also plenty fragile. I think the same for Trey, but how tough he is seems to get vastly overblown and overhyped compared to other guys on the team who seem to be tougher.

Has this been confirmed?

Any updates on their LG?

I hope not. Bengals need opposing starters to play as they refuse to outplay 2nd's. Haven't you guys seen this same movie before?
Or maybe other teams 2nds are as good or better than our 1st team? Coached better? Don't know but history shows the Bengals simply not able to step up and out play other teams 2nd stringers.
