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.

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.

Stewart recorded 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed across eight regular-season games in 2025. Stewart, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M, didn't participate in the Bengals' offseason program and failed to report to training camp on time due to a post-draft contract dispute. This may have contributed to his slow start in the NFL, as he recorded just six total tackles over his first five games. Stewart also struggled to stay healthy, missing nine contests due to a lingering knee injury. Despite the setbacks, the 22-year-old likely will operate as one of the Bengals' top edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Stewart (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Friday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Stewart had missed the Bengals' last five games due to a knee injury suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Bears, but following a week of full practice sessions, he's ready to suit up Sunday. The 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M has tallied just six total tackles in five appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Myles Murphy in Week 16.

Stewart (knee) will have his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Stewart has a chance to play Sunday against the Ravens. Stewart would first have to be added back to the active roster from injured reserve, which the Bengals can do at any point in the next 21 days. In the meantime, the 2025 first-round pick is eligible to practice.
