Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart was placed on injured reserve and will miss a minimum of four weeks after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The setback alters the timetable coach Zac Taylor previously addressed regarding Stewart and defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Stewart already missed four midseason games with an ankle injury. He did not participate in on-field drills until signing his rookie contract in July after missing offseason workouts during a contract dispute. Stewart has appeared in five games with four starts, recording six tackles and no sacks this season.
