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.
