Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (88) is unable to catch a pass in the end zone in the second quarter of the NFL Week 1 game between the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. The Cincinnati Bengals listed All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson as questionable for Thursday's game against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hendrickson did not practice this week after sustaining a hip injury during the Bengals' 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Also on Wednesday, the Bengals placed Mike Gesicki on injured reserve with a pectoral injury and ruled out fellow tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) for the game against the Steelers. Wide receiver Charlie Jones (ribs) and guard Lucas Patrick (calf) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game.

Hudson replaced Gesicki and caught four passes for 10 yards and a touchdown before exiting with a concussion.
Tight ends Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy are in for larger roles with the Bengals (2-4) on Thursday against the Steelers (4-1).
