Returns to Sunday's game
Stewart (head) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart was taken to the locker room early in the third quarter to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he managed to clear tests from medical staff and was back on the field for the Colts at the end of the same frame. Stewart and Neville Gallimore will continue to operate as the Colts' two main defensive tackles due to the absence of DeForest Buckner (neck - IR).

Possible concussion
Stewart is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Stewart took a hit to the head while tackling Tyler Allgeier early in the third quarter, which led to the former being taken to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. The Colts are already without DeForest Buckner (neck - IR), so Adetomiwa Adebawore, Eric Johnson and Neville Gallimore would be slated for even more snaps at defensive tackle if Stewart is not cleared to return.
Nov 2, 2025
Active Sunday
Stewart (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle sat out of both practices to start the week, returned to full participation Friday and carried a questionable tag into the weekend. Stewart has started all eight games in 2025 for Indy, recording 27 tackles (12 solo) and three pass breakups, including an interception.

Questionable for Week 9
Stewart (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Nabs first career interception
Stewart had one total tackle, a QB hurry and an interception in Sunday's win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Stewart caught a pop-fly deflected pass at the line for his first career interception. Stewart is an elite run stuffer, so this is a rare interception or sack (just four sacks the last three seasons).
Oct 8, 2025
Looking good for Week 6
Stewart (biceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Stewart left Sunday's win versus the Raiders in the third quarter after suffering an injury to his bicep, but it doesn't look like it will threaten his availability in Week 6. He should start Sunday against a Cardinals team that likes to drop back to pass.
Oct 5, 2025
Leaves game with bicep injury
Stewart (biceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart suffered the injury in the third quarter and went to the sidelines to be evaluated by medical staff. Even if he is cleared to return, the Colts could play it conservatively by leaving the 2017 fourth-rounder out of the game due to their large lead. Neville Gallimore and Adetomiwa Adebawore are slated to see more snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Stewart is out of the game.
Sep 8, 2025
Two tackles in season opener
Stewart started at defensive tackle and had two total tackles and a QB hit in Sunday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Stewart played on 26 of the defense's 47 snaps. Stewart continues to play at a high level while anchoring the interior of Indianapolis' defensive line. He's a top run stuffer, but won't accumulate many fantasy stats.
Jan 17, 2025
Notches career-high 74 tackles
Stewart made 74 tackles (29 solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games with the Colts in 2024. He also had one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
ANALYSIS
Stewart continues to play at a high level while anchoring the interior of Indianapolis' defensive line. The 31-year-old veteran, who is coming off a career year, has two seasons remaining on his deal with the Colts, though the team has a potential 'out' to weigh after the 2025 campaign.
Dec 30, 2024
Solid performance in loss
Stewart recorded six total tackles (two solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old was one of the few bright spots on the Colts' defense in Sunday's loss, finishing second on the team in tackles for loss and third in total tackles. Stewart has been productive throughout the year, having now recorded 67 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defended while appearing in all 16 of the Colts' regular-season games thus far. He's expected to continue starting alongside DeForest Buckner as part of Indianapolis' top interior defensive linemen duo in the Week 18 matchup against the Jaguars.
Nov 11, 2024
Registers eight stops
Stewart posted eight tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Stewart has posted 3.0 sacks over the last two games, and his 3.5 sacks this season are just a half sack shy of his career high, set back in 2022. The 31-year-old defensive tackle has averaged 4.4 tackles per game, meaning he has some intriguing fantasy appeal in leagues that designate a DT spot.
Nov 4, 2024
Gets after QB in loss
Stewart recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks and a tackle for a loss, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS

Sep 23, 2024
Recovers fumble in win
Stewart had four total tackles and recovered a fumble in Sunday's win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Stewart is primarily a run stuffer as the starting nose tackle. He played on 49 of the defense's 90 snaps, which let Taven Bryan play his more natural position at defensive end. Stewart is consistent by averaging 3.67 tackles per game after averaging 3.72 last season.
Mar 11, 2024
Staying in Indy
The Colts re-signed Stewart on Tuesday to a three-year, $39 million deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart has played in Indianapolis since being drafted by the team in 2017. He missed six games in 2023 due to a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy, but otherwise started all 11 of Colts' games en route to 41 tackles (23 solo) and 0.5 sacks. The 30-year-old has proven durability by missing just two games across the six seasons prior. He projects to again start next to DeForest Buckner on the interior defensive line in 2024.

Plays 11 games in 2023
Stewart racked up 41 tackles (23 solo) and 0.5 sacks across 11 regular-season games with the Colts in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Stewart missed six games due to a suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy, but he otherwise started all 11 games he suited up for with Indianapolis. The veteran's numbers dipped from his 70-tackle, 4.0-sack season in 2022, but the quality of his play on the field remained steady. Stewart is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though the Colts could be motivated to re-sign him.
Dec 4, 2023
Back from suspension
Stewart was reinstated from the reserve/suspended list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart served all six games of the suspension he was dealt ahead of Week 7 for violating the league's PED policy, and now he's set to return to action. He figures to step back into a starting role in Week 14 at Cincinnati.
Oct 17, 2023
Hit with six-game suspension
The NFL suspended Stewart six games for violating the league's PEDs policy, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stewart won't be eligible to play again until Week 14 against the Bengals. It's a huge blow to the interior of Indianapolis' defensive line, as Stewart has started all six games and played 60 percent of the snaps, recording 20 tackles (13 solo) and two tackles for loss. The Colts have a Week 7 date with Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt on tap.
Sep 12, 2023
Five tackles in season opener
Stewart had five total tackles and a tackle for loss in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Stewart had two QB hurries and a QB hit as well, according to Pro Football Focus, as he was effective in the pass rush. He's an interior lineman who had mostly been thought of as a run stuffer (four sacks last season), so it's worth watching.
Nov 1, 2022

Sep 12, 2022
Five tackles in season opener
Stewart had five total tackles, a QB hit and two tackles for a loss in Sunday's tie at Houston.
ANALYSIS
Steward was stout in run defense with four stops. Stewart is a key run suffer in Indy's defense, but doesn't contribute much in the pass rush with just 4.5 sacks in the past three seasons.
Dec 18, 2021
Active for Saturday
Stewart (illness) is listed as fully healthy for Saturday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Stewart's availability should prove important for Indianapolis as they go up against a Patriots offense that has averaged 158.3 rushing yards over their last three games. The fifth-year defensive tackle has 38 stops while appearing on at least 41 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in every game this season.
Dec 17, 2021
Listed as questionable for Saturday
Stewart (Illness) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Stewart was a late addition to the injury report Friday, which is never a good sign. The fifth-year pro has played at least 25 defensive snaps in every game this season, so his potential absence would be a big blow for the Colts' defense. If he is unavailable, then Taylor Stallworth would likely see increased snaps against New England.
Sep 14, 2021

ANALYSIS
He played on 44 of the defense's 54 snaps and was effective against the run. He'll mostly be used as a run stuffer as he has 3.5 career sacks.

ANALYSIS
Stewart started 13 games in his third pro season, and he achieved career highs in both tackles and sacks. He didn't post a sack over his first two years in the league, and he only notched one quarterback pressure in 2018 compared to 10 this season.
