Cincinnati Bengals star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson suffered a scary-looking injury against the Atlanta Falcons before eventually being labeled as “questionable” to return to the game.

On Sunday, Bengals pass-rushers Sam Hubbard and Joseph Ossai still hit home on a shaky Marcus Mariota while playing with a lead.
