Officially placed on IR
Stewart (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Stewart has already missed four games due to an ankle injury and will now be forced to miss at least Cincinnati's next four contests after being placed on IR. The earliest he can return is the Bengals' Week 15 matchup against the Ravens. While Stewart is out, expect Myles Murphy and Cedric Johnson to have expanded roles on Cincinnati's defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Doesn't report for start of camp
Stewart, whom the Bengals selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and who remains the only unsigned first-round selection, did not report to training camp with the rest of the Bengals' rookies Saturday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart and the Bengals have been at odds about language in his contract that could potentially void the guaranteed money in his deal. The Texas A & M product is now also the only member of Cincinnati's 2025 Draft class without a contract, as second-round pick Demetrius Knight signed his deal Saturday.
