The Cincinnati Bengals may have to finish up their Wild Card game without star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. He left the field during the third quarter of the playoff game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bengals tweeted that he is being evaluated for a potential concussion, and he is questionable to return.

This is horrible news for the Bengals, who are trying to hold onto the lead they have had since C.J. Uzomah's touchdown in the first quarter.

23-13 going into the fourth quarter, Joe Burrow and company will have to try to hold off Derek Carr and the Raiders.

Las Vegas started with the ball in the fourth quarter in the red zone. While they couldn't come up with seven points, the Raiders picked up three from a clean field goal by kicker Daniel Carlson.

Fortunately, the Bengals offense has been able to continue to successfully move the ball down the field and maintain the lead. Ja'Marr Chase is continuing his successful season with over 110 receiving yards and plenty of time left in the Wild Card game.

Before exiting the game, Hendrickson recorded on tackle, one sack, and one forced fumble. He finished the regular season with 34 tackles, 14 sacks, and three forced fumbles.
