Steward has been placed on injured reserve due to a back injury suffered in Sunday's win over Houston, BuffaloBills.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Starter Nigel Bradham may not be able to make it back from his ankle injury this week. If that doesn't happen, the Bills would be down their top two guys at the inside linebacker spot next to Preston Brown.

Steward, making his first NFL start, left Sunday's win over the Texans in the second half due to a back injury, BuffaloBills.com reports. He did not return.
EDGE Analysis
Steward was already taking the place of injured starter Nigel Bradham. With Rex Ryan's defensive scheme being enough of a challenge and the Bills not having much depth at linebacker, the Bills better hope one of the two can return for the Week 14 game at Philadelphia.

With Nigel Bradham expected to miss this week's game against Houston due to an ankle injury, Steward becomes the likely starter at inside linebacker next to Preston Brown, The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
That's a pretty nice opportunity considering Steward was only a sixth-round pick out of Clemson in May. Steward is obviously green to the NFL game, but he's athletic and physical, plus Bradham mans a spot that typically gets him 5-8 tackles per game, so Steward's name is at least worth noting in super IDP leagues, should Bradham miss more than just a week.

Steward (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Everyone loves the Bills' defense from a fantasy perspective this season - for good reason - but it's worth noting the linebacking crew doesn't run very deep. Now they'll be a little thinner facing a track meet offense in Andrew Luck's Colts this week without Steward, who's expected to be a key backup in a Rex Ryan defense. And it doesn't get any easier in Week 2, with the Pats on tap.

Steward left Saturday's game against the Steelers with a knee injury and did not return, BuffaloBills.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills have a very good defense, but suddenly they could find themselves quite thin with linebacker depth, as Steward has recently been tabbed to potentially fill a key backup role after Ty Powell was lost for the season.
