ESPN's Laura Rutledge shared an unexpected development from the sidelines of Northwest Stadium ahead of the Washington Commanders vs. Cincinnati Bengals preseason clash

For the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals, the biggest storylines for Monday's preseason game were the players not playing. Cincinnati star edge defender Trey Hendrickson remains a hold-in at training camp,

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels did not attempt a pass against the Bengals, but did score on a 14-yard touchdown run.

The Bengals and Commanders met in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on "Monday Night Football." The Bengals won big in their preseason rematch.

Both teams enter the matchup at 0-1 after losses in their preseason openers, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Summerfield.

The Week 2 NFL preseason schedule closes out when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Washington Commanders on Monday. Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Bengals, 34-27. On the other side, the Commanders were blown out 48-18 by the New England Patriots.

In a recent ranking of the top players in the NFL under the age of 25, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels finished just shy of the top spot.

Monday Night Football makes its glorious return this evening as the Cincinnati Bengals’ high-powered offense faces the Washington Commanders, live from Landover, Maryland.

If Mitchell Tinsley was on the Cincinnati Bengals' roster bubble heading into Monday night, he's probably feeling pretty good about his chances of making the team after the way he played against the Washington Commanders.
