Ravens rule out Trey Hendrickson after finger surgery; Minter calls it 'very short-term'

The Ravens will be without standout edge rusher Trey Hendrickson this week after he underwent a procedure on his finger.

Hendrickson, a constant presence in opposing backfields, was ruled out in a move that signals just how much Baltimore leans on him off the edge. Head coach Jesse Minter stressed the timeline is on the short side, calling it a “very, very short-term” absence — a key distinction for a team trying to keep its pass rush humming through a competitive stretch.

The ruling leaves the Ravens to cycle through their edge depth this week. Hendrickson’s ability to get home quickly is a real piece of what Baltimore does up front, so even a brief miss changes the pressure profile for a week.

Minter’s framing suggests this is more of a precaution than a long-term concern, with the expectation that the veteran returns to the rotation in short order.
