"Stewart has been on injured reserve since suffering a left knee injury in a Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. Per a source, Stewart suffered a torn PCL. Even though the injury did not require surgery, it was significant enough to sideline the Bengals' first-round pick for more than six weeks."
"The former Texas A&M product entered the year with high expectations following a belated start to his pro career. Stewart did not start practicing with the team until after training camp started. A contract dispute over void language in the contract delayed the finalization of his fully-guaranteed contract worth $18.97 million."
""I just want to go out there and make an impact - whether it's doing my job or all the extraordinary stats," Stewart said after Thursday's practice."
Shemar Stewart will play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins in the Bengals' road finale after spending more than six weeks on injured reserve. He suffered a left knee injury in a Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears and sustained a torn PCL that did not require surgery. Stewart began practicing late in the year after a belated start to his pro career and expressed eagerness to make an impact upon return. A contract dispute over void language delayed finalization of his fully guaranteed $18.97 million rookie deal. He had missed games earlier due to a sprained ankle but started three games earlier in the season.
