[Live NFL news, updates]
Week 7 kicks off with the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football, but the Bengals might be without one of their best players.
Pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is officially listed as questionable with a back injury, but he's expected to miss the game, per ESPN. Hendrickson injured his back in a loss to the Green Bay Packers this past weekend, and the short turnaround is challenging with an injury.
Meanwhile in Minnesota, J.J. McCarthy is practicing for the second straight day with the Vikings. McCarthy has missed the last three games with an ankle sprain, with Carson Wentz going 2-1 as the starting quarterback in his stead. The Vikings are coming out of their bye week, and it's unclear if McCarthy will resume starting duties if he plays Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles
