My DDD is the 22nd, but the IRS status bar says approved, not sent. What is going on?

My bank shows no signs of pending deposits....

The date given is an estimate.  Now, IRS has approved your refund to be issued.  You can see your expected refund issue date by visiting Where's My Refund? at IRS.gov.

This means that your deposit should be the 22nd of this month but it can sometimes take your bank 2-3 days to process your refund.
