The Cincinnati Bengals could – in theory – be getting some help this week as rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart is eligible to return from injured reserve. Stewart has been on IR for the last four games with a knee injury and it’s possible that he could return to face the Baltimore Ravens this week.

A roster spot opened Thursday when Trey Hendrickson went on injured reserve following core muscle surgery, and Stewart could slot into that if deemed ready.

Cincinnati Bengals' rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart is cleared to practice after a knee injury, offering a much-needed boost to their defense. Sidelined since Week 11, Stewart's return could bolster the team's pass rush as they aim to regain momentum.
