Washington Commanders vs Cincinnati Bengals Preseason Week 2: Schedule, TV, Radio, Online Streaming, Odds, and more

The Washington Commanders have a lot of primetime games this season, including one in the preseason! Tonight’s Monday Night Football game features Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals coming to Northwest Stadium to face Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. This will be the first game the two former LSU QBs have played against each other in the NFL, but they are expected to only see a few series before letting the backups take over. Washington is expected to play their starters for two series, and that will be the only live reps they get before Week 1’s home game...

The second preseason game

The Commanders play the first of two home preseason games tonight at 8 pm. Dan Quinn has confirmed that Jayden Daniels and most of the current starters will play for at least part of the first quarter, though he also gave a fairly long list of players would be out due to injury management.

There have been a surprising number of roster changes in the ten days since the last update published by Hogs Haven. With the second preseason game just hours away, it seemed like a good time to catch up on those changes....

Five Players to Watch during the Washington Commanders Preseason: Week 2

Five Players to Watch during the Washington Commanders Preseason: Week 2

After a rough opener, the Commanders will look to right the ship in Week 2 at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. The hope for Washington fans is that the participation of more starters this week will make for a more pleasurable viewing experience. It will be great to see Jayden Daniels take the field for the first time in 2025, but there are plenty of other players to keep your eye on Monday night.

Top Three Positional Battles to Watch during Washington Commanders Preseason

Top Three Positional Battles to Watch during Washington Commanders Preseason

With preseason action in full swing across the NFL, the Washington Commanders have officially opened the doors in Ashburn with expectations a bit more lofty after an NFC Championship appearance propelled by the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, QB Jayden Daniels.

Today, we analyze the three most important positional battles for Washington this summer as the regular season is right around the corner.

Starting CB2: Trey Amos vs. Jonathan Jones

The Commanders were very fortunate in the second round of this past NFL Draft when Ole Miss CB Trey Amos fell into their lap with the 61st overall...

Dan Quinn: Terry McLaurin won’t play Monday night, starting return to play process

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters after today’s practice. His usual pre-practice presser was pushed back, and the team announced that WR Terry McLaurin(ankle) has been activated from the Active/PUP list. McLaurin wasn’t at practice today, and he won’t play in the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Quinn said that he will ramp up as he returns to play, just like several other players that were ruled out have been. McLaurin is still seeking a new deal, but can now practice with the team when he is cleared for full participation.

Commanders receiving options may not be elite, but they fit the scheme well

Commanders receiving options may not be elite, but they fit the scheme well

Much has been made of the Commanders receiving options being below-average (especially with Mclaurin not practicing this summer), however that needs to be viewed in context of Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.

Is it more important to have players who fit the scheme, or to build your scheme around the players you have?

This is the million-dollar question – and although I don’t know if I’ll be able to draw a concrete conclusion here either way, it will hopefully prompt some good discussion.


Washington’s passing game is more horizontal (underneath routes) than vertical.

Kingsbury’s hybrid Air Raid system is challenging...
