  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Stewart (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Stewart did not play in the Bengals' 33-27 Week 1 win over the Buccaneers due to a hyperextended knee that he sustained in a training camp practice in late July. However, his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he'll be available to make his 2026 debut this Sunday against the Texans. Stewart appeared in eight regular-season games last year, finishing with 11 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

  • 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. Stewart missed training camp and the preseason after hyperextending his knee in late July, though he returned to practice in early September. It appears that he needs a little more time before he plays in a regular-season game.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Doubtful for Sunday

    Stewart (knee) is officially designated as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Stewart downgraded to limited practice participation Thursday after managing a full practice Wednesday, and it looks like he's trending towards sitting out Week 1. If he can't go, rookie second-rounder Cashius Howell could see an increased share of snaps on the edge.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Logs limited practice Thursday

    Stewart (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Stewart practiced in full Wednesday, but it seems like he may have suffered a setback with his knee during the week. He'll probably end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend unless he can manage another full practice Friday.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Gets in full practice Wednesday

    Stewart (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

    Stewart hyperextended his knee late in July, but all signs are now pointing toward him suiting up in Week 1 versus the Buccaneers. He'll be looking to earn a larger share of snaps on the edge in his second season as a pro.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Returns to practice

    Stewart (knee) participated in Cincinnati's practice Wednesday, Yanni Tragellis of CBS reports.

    Stewart returned to practice for the first time since hyperextending his knee late last month. While the 2025 first-round pick's status for the team's Week 1 matchup versus Tampa Bay is still up in the air, his presence would provide a big boost to the Bengals' defense if he manages to suit up.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Out several weeks

    Stewart will miss several weeks due to a hyperextended knee, head coach Zac Taylor revealed Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of FOX19 Cincinnati reports.

    Stewart was carted off Wednesday due to a left leg injury. The 2025 first-round pick didn't escape unscathed, but this outcome is a positive one given initial fears of a long-term absence. Stewart has a chance to recover before the Bengals kick off regular-season play Sept. 13 against the Buccaneers.

  • Bengals' Shemar Stewart: Carted off field with leg injury

    Stewart was carted off the field after sustaining a left leg injury in Wednesday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Stewart was injured on the first day of training camp and is now on crutches and has his leg in a brace as he awaits the results of further testing following the injury. Stewart was the Bengals' first-round pick, at No. 17 overall, last year and appeared in just eight regular-season games due to ankle and knee injuries. His knee appeared to buckle in practice Wednesday. Stewart is expected to help replace the snaps vacated by Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati this season.
