Daniels danced out of the pocket and scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown to cap his preseason performance against the Bengals after just four plays.

In the Commanders' second preseason game, we also learned the safety corps is deep and John Bates is a blocking weapon.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith went off on Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor over a decision involving quarterback Joe Burrow.

On second-and-9 from Cincinnati's 14-yard line, Daniels dropped back to pass, but his options were all covered. He decided to run the ball and scrambled up the middle through the Bengals' defense and even split three defenders before getting into the end zone for a touchdown. It was a brilliant run.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took just four snaps during Monday's 31-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

"The Commanders could look to take advantage of Jayden Daniels' rookie contract by trading for Hendrickson, who would instantly be the best defender on the team. In exchange, they'd give up their first-rounder next year and Johnny Newton, a 22-year-old defense tackle whom the team drafted in the sixth round in 2024."
