Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is still receiving respect from NFL executives despite being in a contract dispute with Cincinnati.

Appearing on ESPN this weekend, Jeremy Fowler reported that talks between Hendrickson and the Bengals are “not any further along” despite the lines of communication being back open. Prior reporting suggested the Bengals and Hendrickson were back talking again. Hendrickson’s appearance in Cincinnati lately backed that idea up.

The Cincinnati Bengals will hold their first of three mandatory minicamp practices on Tuesday and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson won't be in attendance, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
