Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart, Cincinnati’s 2025 first-round pick, is injured during the team’s first day of training camp. Multiple outlets report that Stewart is carted off the field during 11-on-11 drills after suffering an apparent leg injury. One report says the injury occurs during Wednesday practice, while others describe it as happening on the camp’s first day.
Following the incident, Stewart is seen using crutches and wearing a leg brace, and at least one outlet characterizes the injury as a knee injury. The extent of the injury and whether it will sideline him for a specific period are not stated in the provided reports. The Athletic notes the carted-off incident during the first day of camp drills, while Yahoo Sports and Newsweek similarly describe Stewart leaving practice with an apparent leg ailment.
Stewart previously missed games as a rookie, but the current reports focus on the injury sustained during Cincinnati’s 2025 camp practice.
