The Cincinnati Bengals sure could use somebody else in their defensive end group to step up and help superstar pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson. Unfortunately, the most promising candidate to do that by a long shot will be sidelined in Week 3 and perhaps longer.
Rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart had a dazzling NFL debut before a rather quiet outing against the Jaguars in Week 2's 31-27 win. Stewart suffered ankle and knee injuries in the fourth quarter that has him week-to-week, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz. Thus, in all likelihood, Stewart is out for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings in Minnesota.
