The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> will not have to face edge rusher Trey Hendrickson <\/a>on Thursday, as he will be out with a hip injury suffered against the Green Bay Packers. <\/p>\n

He missed the second half of the game, where the Packers started to move up-and-down the field on the Bengals defense.<\/p>\n

Rookie pass rusher Shemar Stewart is expected back with after missing time with an ankle injury, but losing Hendrickson would be another setback.<\/p>\n

Hendrickson led the NFL in sacks in 2024 and already has four this season. He has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last four seasons since joining the Bengals from the New Orleans Saints, and the Bengals have built their defense around him.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati is in a spot where this game has become nothing short of a must-win game for that team considering they are 2-4, and the Steelers have already lengthened their AFC North lead with a win over the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

As a result, they have elevated edge rusher Isaiah Foskey from the practice squad. Foskey, a former second-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2023 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, will get a chance to showcase what he can do to the Bengals. <\/p>\n
