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 head coach Zac Taylor says that first-round rookie Shemar Stewart is eligible to return from IR.

Cincinnati Bengals' rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart is cleared to practice after a knee injury, offering a much-needed boost to their defense. Sid

Stewart, a rookie out of Texas A&M, landed on the IR on Nov. 15 after injuring his knee against the Bears in Week 9.

Ravens outside linebacker Tavius Robinson (foot) and safety Ar'Darius Washington (Achilles) are questionable and would need to be activated to the 53-man roster on Saturday to play. The Ravens currently only have 51 players on the roster, so there's room for them to move up without making a cut.

Trey Hendrickson may be out for the season after undergoing core muscle surgery, but Shemar Stewart is one step closer to coming back. Stewart was placed on the Reserve/Injured list in Week 11 and has missed the last four games.
