The Washington Commanders face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 preseason action on Monday Night Football. The Commanders will finish out the preseason later this week against the Baltimore Ravens before all 32 NFL teams must trim their rosters from 90 players to 53 next week.
For several Commanders, that means two more opportunities to impress coaches and general manager Adam Peters. Head coach Dan Quinn sat 30 players in the preseason opener against the New England Patriots. On Saturday, Quinn announced several starters and key reserves who would not play against Cincinnati. Some are related to injury, while others, such as Bobby Wagner, Zach Ertz and Laremy Tunsil, have nothing to prove by playing.
