One player in particular to watch is rookie Shemar Stewart. The first round pick has had a strong camp after holding out to start the summer. He recorded a pressure last week.

On offense, tight end Noah Fant has been a big story in Bengals camp. Fant signed with the Bengals a few days into camp after being released by the Seattle Seahawks in late July, but has shown quick chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow.

For the Commanders, the expectation is that more of the team’s starters will play in this game after not playing last week against the New England Patriots. That includes rookie tackle Josh Conerly Jr., who the team picked in the first round back in the spring.
