Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders host the Cincinnati Bengals tonight at FedEx Field in the third and final preseason contest for each team before the regular season begins on September 10.

The Bengals would like to finish the preseason with a win - something they haven't seen thus far in exhibition play. After losing to Green Bay 36-19 on Aug. 11 and tying Atlanta 13-13 last Friday, Cincinnati is winless this preseason.

Much of the storyline for the Bengals this preseason has focused on who will back up starting quarterback Joe Burrow, who has been sidelined with a calf strain. Trevor Siemian and first-year pro Jake Browning have both had first-team snaps during the exhibition season.

As for the Commanders, second-year signal-caller Sam Howell has been given the keys to the offense and has performed well this preseason. It's unknown how many starters will be on the field, if any for Washington, and there are injury concerns with wideout Terry McLaurin, who is dealing with a toe sprain.
