What does this mean for Bengals D in 2025?
Cincinnati has spent months trying to correct the defense vessel under the new Al Golden manager for mixed results. Camp reports have indicated that Bengals would surprise many with his performance on that side of the ball in 2025, but on the ground, the measures for season-to-do-insufficient sample sample-samples did not fit with that optimism. In view of this, Hendrickson’s return is a great victory for Bengalana when the normal season lies.
Because he has been on the ground this summer, there is nothing to say about how long it will take Hendrickson to rise properly in preparation for the season. For a team that has fought out of the gate under the head coach Zac Taylor, they would have liked to have made this deal two weeks ago to give Hendrickson almost months to prepare.
But once he has cleaned that season, Hendrickson will return to defense, which expects Shemar Stewart, a newcomer to the first round, will be a power from the edge. If Hendrickson remains the same sack-stack edge Rusher and he has been in the last four seasons, he and Stewart should form a considerable amount of tandem, which could go a long way in reversing this unit.
