After Cincinnati Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley had a breakout preseason game Monday night, coach Zac Taylor has been impressed with the wide receiver competing for one of the team’s final roster spots. Tinsley’s emergence has happened that quickly in Bengals’ training camp.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Cordell Volson will undergo surgery on his shoulder and is expected to be out for the year, according to coach Zac Taylor.

Bengals star defensive end Trey Hendrickson is in Washington for Monday night's preseason game against the Commanders. The majority of the Bengals starters will play on Monday, but Hendrickson remains out.

The Bengals and Commanders met in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season on "Monday Night Football." The Bengals won big in their preseason rematch.

Bengals receiver Mitchell Tinsley had two touchdown catches on Monday night vs. the Commanders in preseason as he battles for a spot on Cincinnati's 53-man roster. He also received quite the endorsement from Joe Burrow.

"The longer you've been in it, the more you recognize that's just part of how things go." Hendrickson and McLaurin are pivotal to their teams' success. If and when they can settle on new deals, they will rejoin squads with realistic championship expectations.
