The Cincinnati Bengals are facing a crucial game on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers on “Sunday Night Football.”
If the Bengals lose, they will fall to 4-7 and the playoffs will seem further out of reach.
The good news is that they will have two significant players available for the Week 11 contest.
“Trey Hendrickson officially listed as questionable but expected to play Sunday. Tee Higgins was limited all week but his status is not limited. Expected as a full-go,” Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media wrote on X.

Additionally, offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and defensive tackle B.J. Hill are questionable, with receiver Charlie Jones listed as out.
The Bengals need all hands on deck if they want to defeat a good Chargers team, and having pass rusher Hendrickson and wide receiver Higgins available is a big boost.
Both teams have plenty of firepower, which is why defense will be key.
Having Hendrickson on the field is likely to pay dividends.
The All-Pro has 11.0 sacks this season, the fourth time in the past five seasons he has had that many.
While Hndrickson is one of the league’s best at generating pressure on the quarterback, getting Hill back in the interior could be great too.
If they can play at their best, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert could have a difficult day at the office.
