Shemar Stewart is going through individual drills with the rest of the defensive line. The door is open for him to play on Sunday. I’d expect him to be limited on the official practice report.
Bengals notes via Dan Pitcher ahead of Week 1
On WR 3: "We have a multitude of guys that will factor into that 'quote unquote' third receiving role. Dre (Iosivas) certainly being one of them. We'll see how it all plays out, but we feel good about our skill guys."
On most improved player on offense from the end of 2025: "I think Amarius (Mims) is well on his way to being one of the best tackles in our league. He has to keep on the path he is on right now. But, I love what he has shown. I know there are a lot of really good players on our offense and maybe that speaks to my expectations and belief in him."
On culture changers brought in via free agency, trades, and the draft: "I generally make it a practice not to comment on the other side of the football. I am a part of this team and I would just say overall I think the additions the organization made to this team -- that happen to play for the other side of the ball -- have made a tangible, visceral difference for how we exist day in and day out. That's a good feeling to have."
Bengals OC Dan Pitcher on the defensive additions this offseason: "(They) have a made tangible, visceral difference for how we exist, day in and day out. That's a good feeling to have.
"Like all these other good feelings... we have to go turn it into wins."
