The quarterback played 24 snaps in Monday's win over the Commanders, expressing satisfaction with protection and Cincinnati's efficient running game.

On his Fearless podcast on Tuesday, Whitlock ripped into the Bengals for not giving Burrow the tools to succeed. "Watching and seeing the highlights and seeing the discussion about the Cincinnati Bengals last night in their game against the Washington Commanders," Whitlock said (6:22).

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow took multiple dangerous hits in the team's preseason game against the Commanders on Monday night, as fans had to look away.

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

Part of the reason Ryan Clark expressed frustration with the Cincinnati Bengals is because of the contract dispute with defensive end Trey Hendrickson. He is one of the biggest defensive stars on the Bengals but is in a contract standoff with the team. The sticking point for the standoff appears to be guaranteed money in an extension.

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

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.

According to the telecast, when the Bengals took on the Washington Commanders, a new update was revealed regarding the contract standoff. Laura Rutledge was speaking on the telecast when she revealed that there had been significant movement on the contract.
