Shemar Stewart DE | CIN
Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Unable to play Sunday
Stewart (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.
The defensive end logged a full practice Wednesday, a limited session Thursday and entered the weekend with a doubtful designation.

Panthers' Princely Umanmielen: Expected to start Sunday
Umanmielen is expected to start Sunday's game against the Bears in place of an inactive Patrick Jones (back), Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Umanmielen was a third-round pick out of Ole Miss last year and appeared in 16 regular-season games as a rookie, recording 24 tackles (13 solo), including 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on just 222 defensive snaps and another 88 on special teams. With Jones injured and Nic Scourton (knee) done for the year, Umanmielen is likely to see more action in 2026.

Jaguars' Quinn Ewers: Not playing Week 1
Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
