Overview
- NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the move, which makes Stewart ineligible until at least Week 15 under league IR rules.
- Both Stewart and top rusher Trey Hendrickson will miss Week 11 against the Steelers, with Zac Taylor listing Hendrickson as week-to-week.
- The No. 17 pick has appeared in five games with six tackles and no sacks after a Week 2 ankle injury and a preseason contract standoff limited his early development.
- Cincinnati’s defense has surrendered an NFL-high 300 points, allowing 33.3 per game during a season-long slide.
- With Stewart sidelined, edge snaps are expected to tilt to Joseph Ossai, Myles Murphy and Cameron Sample.
