Overview

• Stewart signed his rookie contract on August 15 after holding out over guarantee language and immediately returned to Bengals practice.
• During an 11-on-11 rep he slipped and accidentally drove his shoulder into Burrow’s lower body, touching off a brief scuffle.
• The rookie apologized on the spot, insisting the turf gave way under his foot and that he never intended to hit Burrow.
• Burrow emerged uninjured and brushed off the incident, quipping that it was fine “as long as you do it on Sundays, too.”
• Veteran pass rusher Trey Hendrickson remains sidelined over extension talks, placing added pressure on Stewart to boost Cincinnati’s pass rush.
