Deadspin | Report: Bengals DE Shemar Stewart (knee) lands on IR

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart (97) talks with defensive coordinator Al Golden in the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 1 game between the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. The Bengals begin the season with a 17-16 win over the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart is going on injured reserve with a knee injury, NFL Network reported on Saturday.

The first-round draft pick (17th overall) missed four games earlier this season with an ankle injury and now must sit out at least four more games.

Stewart, who turned 22 on Wednesday, has recorded six tackles and one quarterback hit in five games (four starts). He has played a total of 177 snaps on defense.

The Bengals (3-6) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) on Sunday. Stewart’s earliest possible return would be in Week 15 against the visiting Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 14.

Deadspin | Kyle Busch gets new crew chief after just 10 races  Mar 22, 2026; Darlington, South Carolina, USA; Richard Childress Racing Kyle Busch (8) comes out for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Mandatory Credit: Scott Kinser-Imagn Images   Richard Childress Racing named a new crew chief Monday for Kyle Busch, ending the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion’s tenure with Jim Pohlman only 10 races into their partnership.  Andy Street will take over crew chief responsibilities for the No. 8 Chevrolet for the remainder of the 2026 season, with Pohlman transitioning into a leadership role in RCR’s competition department.  “This move is about putting our people in the best position to succeed,” RCR chairman and CEO Richard Childress said. “We have strong talent across this organization, and we’re focused on having each person in the right position to help deliver the results we expect.”  Busch, 40, is coming off a 10th-place finish Sunday at Talladega. It was his first top-10 showing of the season. After winning at least one Cup Series race in a record 19 consecutive seasons from 2005-23, Busch has not visited Victory Lane since June 2023.  Busch, who won the season-long driver’s championships in 2015 and 2019, currently ranks 27th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. His 63 wins in NASCAR’s top circuit rank ninth all-time and are two ahead of Denny Hamlin for the most among active drivers.   Street has more than 20 years of experience in multiple roles at RCR, including serving as the company’s performance director in 2026. Street worked with Busch at the end of last year after former crew chief Randall Burnett moved to Trackhouse Racing.  “We strongly believe in the people we have,” RCR president Mike Verlander said. “At the same time, we expect better results, and that requires us to continually evaluate and make adjustments. Jim has more than two decades of success in this sport and will remain an important part of our team. We believe Andy and Kyle’s previous working relationship positions us to improve the No. 8 team and compete at a higher level.”  The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Texas Motor Speedway next Sunday in Fort Worth, where Busch won four times while driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Kyle #Busch #crew #chief #racesMar 22, 2026; Darlington, South Carolina, USA; Richard Childress Racing Kyle Busch (8) comes out for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.

Deadspin | Netherlands’ Xavi Simons to miss World Cup with ACL injury  Tottenham Hotspur’s Xavi Simons suffered a knee injury against the Wolverhampton Wanders on April 25 that will sideline him for the 2026 World Cup.   A “heartbroken” Xavi Simons will miss this summer’s FIFA World Cup for the Netherlands after tearing his right ACL in English Premier League action on Saturday.  The 23-year-old midfielder was carried off on a stretcher following a collision in the 58th minute of Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.  Simons posted on Instagram late Sunday that he will miss the last four matches of the regular season and the World Cup in North America.  “They say life can be cruel and today it feels that way,” he said. “My season has come to an abrupt end and I’m just trying to process it. Honestly, I’m heartbroken. None of it makes sense. All I’ve wanted to do is fight for my team and now the ability to do that has been snatched away from me, along with the World Cup.”   Simons has scored six goals in 34 appearances with the Netherlands’ national team. He made his debut with the squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.  The Netherlands, No. 7 in the FIFA world rankings, are in Group F for the World Cup with Japan, Sweden and Tunisia.
