Ravens Lose All-Pro Pass Rusher Ahead of Week 4 Titans Clash

By Drooid · · How we work

Core Event

The Baltimore Ravens announced that All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson will miss the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Jesse Minter said the 31-year-old underwent a finger procedure on Friday and will be unavailable for Sunday’s game at M&T Bank Stadium.

Background & Recent Injury History

Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler who spent five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, signed a four-year, $112 million contract with Baltimore after a proposed trade for Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby fell through. He posted 17.5 sacks in each of the two prior seasons. In 2025 he missed 10 games due to a core-muscle injury, but has returned this season to record one sack and three quarterback hits in three games for the Ravens.

Team Status and Statistics

The Ravens have allowed 26 points per game this season. Their offense will face a 0-3 Titans unit that ranks 31st in total offense. In addition to Hendrickson’s absence, All-Pro tackle Ronnie Stanley missed Friday’s practice with a toe injury but could return. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Zay Flowers participated fully in practice for the second consecutive day, suggesting they are likely to play.

Official Statements & Responses

Coach Minter emphasized the quick nature of Hendrickson’s treatment, noting that the team aimed to “get the finger fixed” and return the player to the field as soon as possible. He described the expected recovery as “very, very short-term” and framed the decision as beneficial for the team’s forward progress.
