Coach Zac Taylor said after Thursday's practice that Stewart avoided a major injury, but that the second-year defensive lineman will miss several weeks.
“Hard to pinpoint exactly how far into training camp that will be. Very fortunate because obviously it looked bad,” Taylor said.
Stewart, the Bengals’ first-round draft pick in 2025, played in only eight games last season because of injuries. He had 11 tackles with one sack.
The Bengals invested heavily at defensive end in the offseason with free agent Boye Mafe and second-round pick Cashius Howell. Myles Murphy, their 2023 first-round pick, is a projected starter.
Cedric Johnson, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and Isaiah Foskey, claimed off waivers last season, are behind Stewart on the depth chart and will see additional snaps.
