Shemar Stewart Eyes Extended Opportunity Following Teammate Injuries

Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Shemar Stewart now faces a prime opportunity to prove his worth as a 2025 first-round pick following significant injuries to fellow rookies Cashius Howell, who suffered a wrist injury requiring surgery, and Cedric Johnson, who is day-to-day with an ankle injury. After logging just two career sacks and seeing limited action as a healthy scratch recently, Stewart is expected to help fill the defensive void.
