Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart practiced in uniform on Sept. 2, participating in team stretches and position drills. The 2025 first-round draft pick had been sidelined since suffering a knee hyperextension on the first day of training camp in July. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor noted on Sept. 1 that Stewart would remain on the rehab field for the current week as the team evaluates his recovery on a week-to-week basis. Stewart was observed moving without a knee brace while performing drills on the field. The defensive end previously appeared in eight games during his 2025 rookie campaign before a separate knee injury forced him onto the Reserve/Injured list in November.
