Good news is Shemar Stewart “avoided a major injury,” per coach Zac Taylor. Out “several weeks” but not the season. Via @ArmandoSalguero on X

What happened: Stewart hyperextended his knee Wednesday and was carted from practice. No ligament damage is believed.

Why it matters: The multiweek absence will cut into Stewart's preparation for the upcoming 2026 season. Avoiding a season-ending injury preserves a path back after rehabilitation.

What to watch: Stewart's rehabilitation progress and eventual return to practice will clarify how much preseason work he can recover.
