com scouting report with quotes from Stewart and Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and defensive coordinator Al Golden to come:The Bengals needed an edge rusher to add depth and competition, and he may be able to kick inside at tackle on obvious passing downs to give some much-needed rush up the middle.
