The Ravens will be without Trey Hendrickson for this week's game against the Titans, but he should be back soon.
Head coach Jesse Minter told reporters in his Friday press conference that Hendrickson underwent a procedure to repair his broken finger and is out for Week 4.
“We were able to get the finger fixed,” Minter said. “We think it’ll be [a] very, very short term [absence], but just in a quick way to get that fixed and get him back, I think that’s going to be best for us moving forward long term.”
Hendrickson’s finger had been broken in multiple places.
In three games so far this season, Hendrickson has registered one sack, a tackle for loss, and three quarterback hits.
Baltimore’s full injury report with game statuses will be released later on Friday.

Packers defensive tackle Warren Brinson missed the first three games of the season with a calf injury and he's set to miss a lot more action with a new ailment.
Brinson appeared on this week's injury report with a groin issue in addition to the calf and head coach Matt LaFleur said that it will be the reason for an extended absence from the field.
"Unfortunately I think he's gonna miss a significant amount of time," LaFleur said, via Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's website. "All he did was slip and injuries occur and a lot of times it's non-contract."
Brinson was a sixth-round pick last year. He had 13 tackles and a half-sack in 11 appearances as a rookie.

The costs are a direct consequence of the delays that the court decided were caused by what the judge, Senior Master Cook, described in court on Friday as the “contradictory and misguided approach” of Rylands Garth, the solicitors firm who had been representing the players until earlier this year.
