“Our expectation is he will be ready to go, and he will see a lot of action,” Golden said as per Sports Illustrated.
“He looked good out there today,” Golden added. “I know we were walking through, but at least he recalls how to line up and all those things because he’s been in the meetings from that standpoint,” Golden added.
The Bengals’ head coach, Zac Taylor, had also provided an update on Stewart’s fitness. "Shemar is progressing back. We don't do a lot of full speed work this week, but I'm optimistic. Yeah, We'll just continue to make decisions on that. But from a physical standpoint, he's looked good,” Taylor had said earlier, as reported by Sports Illustrated.
