  Bengals Camp — Sep 3: Stewart Practiced in Pads

  Shemar Stewart went from the rehab field and a week-to-week tag on Tuesday to position drills in uniform on Wednesday, no brace, five weeks after hyperextending the knee. Cincinnati's one waiver claim was tackle Myles Hinton, paid for by releasing Tanner Hudson, who was back on the practice squad the next day. Three of the four vested veterans cut Sunday were back inside forty-eight hours too, and the swing-tackle job is the one thing Zac Taylor will not call settled.

  Bengals Camp — Aug 31: Stewart on the 53, Two Quarterbacks, Three Backs

  The Bengals kept rookie edge Shemar Stewart on the initial 53 rather than a reserve list in his fifth week of knee rehab, a decision Bengals On SI's Russell Heltman read as leaving the door open for a first-month return. The roster behind that call, per the team's site: two quarterbacks, three running backs, and a cut list that included Josh Johnson after a 90.6 preseason passer rating and Charlie Jones two days after a 31-yard punt return. Dohnte Meyers, the Canadian Football League import, headlined the team's own roster feature.

  Cincinnati Bengals Camp Update — August 16: Burrow Took 13 Snaps on the Repaired Foot

  Joe Burrow took 13 snaps on the surgically repaired foot and went 5-of-6, Zac Taylor ran his starters out of the tunnel on purpose, and the rebuilt defense forced three takeaways to beat Detroit. Dexter Lawrence played only three snaps, so the front-travels question is still mostly open — but every input keeps pointing the right way.

  Cincinnati Bengals Camp Update — August 9: Dexter Lawrence Put Joe Burrow on the Ground Today

  The traded-for nose tackle has spent two weeks terrorizing his own offense — Ted Karras calls August stressful and can't wait to pass him off to opposing centers. Burrow says the foot feels great. The bought bounce is doing exactly what it was bought to do, to its own teammates.
