Bengals Get GOOD Injury News + Joe Burrow Reveals What He Is Most Looking Forward To This Season

The Cincinnati Bengals received some surprising news at practice as second-year defensive lineman Shemar Stewart returned to the football field after suffering a hyperextended knee on the first day of training camp. Zac Taylor originally described Stewart as week-to-week and expected him to spend significant time on the rehab field, making his appearance in pads and a helmet for individual drills a very encouraging development.

In this video, we break down what Shemar Stewart's return means for the Bengals defensive line, how his role could look different in 2026, and why the pressure on the former first-round pick isn't nearly as high as it was during his rookie season. With Cincinnati adding Dexter Lawrence and other significant pieces to the defensive front, Stewart can develop as part of a talented rotation rather than being expected to immediately become a double-digit sack star.

We also discuss Erick All Jr. and Zac Taylor's comments about his return. After missing significant time because of an ACL injury and subsequent setback, All is finally preparing for a full return. His ability to block, line up as a fullback and make plays as a receiver could give Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense another dimension.

Plus, Joe Burrow appeared on Ja'Marr Chase's new podcast, Chasing No. 1, and talked about what he's most excited to see this season. Unsurprisingly, Dexter Lawrence was high on Burrow's list. We discuss what Lawrence brings to Cincinnati and why the Bengals defense finally appears to have the attitude, confidence and physicality they've been missing.
