Bengals DE Howell Out After Wrist Surgery
3 Nov
Summary
- Rookie defensive end Cashius Howell underwent wrist surgery on Sunday.
- Howell's return timeline is unspecified, but he's not on injured reserve.
- Shemar Stewart may see increased defensive snaps with Howell sidelined.
The Cincinnati Bengals will be without rookie defensive end Cashius Howell for an undetermined period following wrist surgery. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the injury occurred during Sunday's overtime victory over the Titans.
Howell, a second-round selection, has not been placed on injured reserve, indicating the team anticipates his return without missing four games. He has played approximately 40 percent of defensive snaps this season, contributing six tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and five quarterback hits.
In Howell's absence, fellow defensive end Shemar Stewart is likely to see an increased role. Stewart, a 2025 first-round pick, played in Sunday's game but was a healthy scratch the prior week due to depth at the position.
