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

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.

Shemar Stewart (knee), Joseph Ossai (shin), and Shaka Heyward (fibula) all went full again. Stewart was cleared to practice Wednesday after missing the last four games on I.R., and Heyward remains on I.R. as well. Both could be activated this week with two open spots on the active roster.

The Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to get one important player back on the field this week while keeping another from exiting the lineup.

Stewart's return would give the Bengals six healthy defensive ends to work with on the active roster. The group was bolstered by Isaiah Foskey being signed off the practice squad a week after Stewart went to I.R. Foskey may be sent back down to the practice squad once Stewart is fully active.
