What happened: Treatment is planned for Stewart following the training-camp injury. Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported the diagnosis Thursday.

Why it matters: Cincinnati used the No. 17 pick on Stewart in 2025. His availability affects the Bengals' edge rotation entering the 2026 season.

By the numbers: Stewart was inactive for four games and spent five games on injured reserve with a knee injury in 2025.

What to watch: Treatment and Stewart's participation in upcoming practices are the next markers.
