Defensive End · Cincinnati Bengals

Shemar Stewart

No. 94 · 2nd season

Shemar Stewart's training camp ended before it really began

Day one. That's all he got.

Shemar Stewart arrived at Cincinnati Bengals training camp as a defensive end with something to prove — a young player whose first real shot at making his mark was supposed to start this week. Instead, on the very first day of camp, he came off the field on a cart, a left leg injury cutting the moment short before it had any chance to breathe.

A cart ride at training camp is never a small thing. It means the season — or at least a meaningful piece of it — is suddenly in question before a single regular-season snap has been played. For a player still working to establish himself on an NFL roster, every rep in camp counts. Stewart won't get those back.

What this costs him exactly depends on what the scans say. But whatever comes next, the first day of camp is a hard way to start a summer.
