- Oct 25 NFL News Poster (Bluesky) [Baby] Bengals DE Shemar Stewart is a healthy scratch for today’s game against the Ravens. The 2025 first-round pick is still working his way back after missing all of training camp with a hyperextended knee.

- Oct 25 Paul Dehner Jr. (X) #Bengals inactives (all healthy scratches): S Russ Yeast C Connor Lew OT Myles Hinton DE Shemar Stewart DT Landon Robinson My thoughts on the Shemar Stewart healthy scratch: The Bengals extreme health on the DL coupled with a matchup-specific lean at other positions are why he lands here. The bottom line is Stewart missing camp and preseason has him behind a talented second-wave group. Cashius Howell, Cedric Johnson and Kris Jenkins have earned trust through productive play. They aren’t going to sit any them down for Stewart, who by all accounts is practicing well, but it's hard to prove enough in practice to supplant any of those three on gameday. Eventually, you have to believe Stewart’s moment to play will come with injury issues at some point during the season, it always does. Then, he can will have a path to get reps, start producing and earn his spot. Right now isn’t the time, the trust isn’t high enough. But I can say with 100 percent certainty this has nothing to do with…

- A few thoughts from the first coordinator Monday of the season. #Bengals DC Al Golden sat down with us today. - Shemar Stewart ramp up enjoying a big surge lately. They are still figuring out a plan, but "very encouraged and excited" about how he looked today. There's a process getting him back to speed with consistency, but not starting at zero this time: "We can’t do anything about lost time. Clearly, this is Year 2 for him, too. It’s not like a year ago where everything is new, both technique and concept. From that standpoint the journey shouldn’t be as long to try to get him back." - In terms of leadership from new captain Dexter Lawrence, pointed out in Year 8 he's still one of the first three on the field every day. "He’s setting a really, really good example for a lot of the guys in our locker room in terms of what it takes to be among the elite." - One line uttered in passing stood out to me: "hitting on Cashius, I can't underscore how important that is because he's come…

"(Tee) and Ja'Marr will be good at the end of the week." Dax Hill will progress back into individual this week. No specifics on if he could be limited in any way at start of season. Recognizes easy for Dax to jump right into lineup even with limited camp/no preseason. Bryan Cook: "Has been back, ready to roll." Shemar Stewart: "Rehab field this week. Week to week."

- Aug 30 Paul Dehner Jr. (X) Per source, Shemar Stewart (knee) is going to make the #Bengals initial 53-man roster, he’s not going on IR-return … yet. The Bengals have time to make this decision. Buys time to gauge his rehab and they didn’t have to use the roster spot immediately.
