With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow has a pair of standout receivers to target in the passing game. But the quarterback is backing another player that is fighting for a roster spot, one who put on a show Monday night against the Washington Commanders.

Mitchell Tinsley's roster status remains in limbo, but a stellar preseason and endorsement from Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow could aid his effort.

Stephen A. Smith went scorched earth on Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor over his Joe Burrow Decision.

A couple of receivers make strong cases while the starting defense is once again woeful in 31-17 win over the Commanders.

Burrow’s preference comes through in the answer. It’s “great” to get the deals done early, like the Bengals did with Higgins and Chase. And while the NFL is a deadline-driven business, the deadline when a player is holding in shouldn’t be Week 1. It should be tied to the practical deadline for getting the player ready to go for Week 1.

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.

Hendrickson, the 2024 NFL sack champion, continued his "hold-in" Aug. 18 amid fresh reports on his contract situation and his club entertaining trade offers for him. He was a favorite target of camera lenses throughout the Bengals' preseason victory against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, because of that news.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow played three series to open Monday night's game against the Commanders and the final possession saw him sharing the field with a different supporting cast.

"Well Jake Browning, he comes in now," Troy Aikman said during the broadcast. "He takes over. Oh, excuse me. No Burrow, he's back in."
