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.

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

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

He took on three defenders instead of playing it safe. The Washington Commanders QB has no regrets, and his coach is backing him up.

"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."

Jayden Daniels only played one series in the Commanders' preseason game against the Bengals Monday but he still made an impression.
