Signed a four-year, $18.97 million contract with the Bengals in July of 2025.
Unlikely to play Week 3
Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Stewart (ankle) is doubtful to play in the Bengals' Week 3 contest against the Vikings on Sunday, Dave Clark of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart suffered a right ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win against the Bengals. Taylor didn't provide a timeline for Stewart's return, but Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer relays that the rookie first-rounder could be out of action for the next 2-to-3 weeks. If Stewart is in fact ruled out for Week 3, his next chance to see the field is Week 4 against the Broncos on Monday, Sept. 29. Myles Murphy and Cameron Sample should see an uptick in snaps at defensive end behind starters Trey Hendrickson and Joseph Ossai for as long as Stewart is sidelined.

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.
