As NFL training camp opened this week, the Cincinnati Bengals found themselves without one of their most disruptive defenders. All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson did not report to practice Tuesday amid a contract standoff, leaving his teammates and coaches to prepare without last year’s sack leader on the field.

When the Cincinnati Bengals report to training camp on Tuesday, Trey Hendrickson won't be there. The Bengals star is currently about 800 miles away from Ohio in Northern Florida, which means one of two things happened: Either he forgot he was supposed to report to training camp or his contract standoff with the Bengals has gotten so ugly that he decided not to show up.

Hendrickson is in Jacksonville, not even near the Bengals, as training camp has gotten underway this week. The Bengals have nothing else to distract them anymore. The last off-season question to answer is Hendrickson's contract. MORE: Bills' James Cook contract saga doesn't lessen his importance to Super Bowl aspirations
