The Bengals coach sent Hendrickson texts on Monday about OTAs, prompting the player to release a public statement about the team's lack of communication.

The edge rusher said Taylor texted him Monday to tell Hendrickson he would be fined for missing mandatory minicamp.

The Bengals used the No. 17 pick in last month's NFL draft to select Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart, potentially preparing for life without Hendrickson. The 30-year-old told reporters, "Circumstances changed post-draft. They’re starting to change very openly."
