Shemar Stewart and Demetrius Knight Jr. Didn't Participate in Bengals Rookie Minicamp

The Bengals held rookie minicamp on Friday. Four of their six draft picks participated in on-field drills.

First round pick Shemar Stewart and second round pick Demetrius Knight Jr. were on the field, but didn't participate in any drills.

"They're just working through their contracts right now," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said after the session.

The Bengals held a one day rookie camp, but they'll get on the field next week with the veterans. Will Stewart and Knight be out there?

"We'll see," Taylor said. "I'm not going to make any predictions on where that ends up, but they've had a great attitude, and I'm excited about both those guys."

The Bengals selected Stewart with the 17th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft last month. They followed that up by taking Knight with the 49th overall selection.

The Bengals signed four of their six draft picks on Thursday afternoon: Dylan Fairchild, Barrett Carter, Jalen Rivers and Tahj Brooks.

All four of them were on the field and participating on Friday during minicamp.
