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,

Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks from LSU, headlined the “Monday Night Football” matchup in the second preseason game for each team.

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 Washington Commanders’ offense was electric early against the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes, it is preseason, but the Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels are making it really hard not to overreact to what has been put on the field, and the opening drive against the Cincinnati Bengals will have fans ecstatic with their 2025 prospects.

It appears running back Brian Robinson Jr. may have played his final snap for the Washington Commanders. Amid trade rumors, Robinson did not play in Washington's second preseason matchup vs. the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night and was not even in the stadium.

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