2. How healthy will Trey Hendrickson be against the Baltimore Ravens?

The Cincinnati Bengals pass rush is reliant on Trey Hendrickson being one of the better rushers in the NFL. Hendrickson has 50 pressures on the season. The next highest is Sam Hubbard. First, Hubbard has just 29 pressures, showing the drop-off from Hendrickson. Second, Hubbard is out this week. So, all eyes are on the top rusher for the Bengals.

The Ravens have a few things in their favor, though. Hendrickson practiced this week but is dealing with a knee injury. That helps, but Baltimore will be starting Patrick Mekari in place of Ronnie Stanley. 

Stanley missed week two as well, and Mekari held Hendrickson in check. Does Mekari win round two, or does Hendrickson show up healthier than expected with an ability to get revenge?
