Week 2 of the preseason is almost here. This week will have the Cincinnati Bengals travelling to Washington on Friday night.

We get a chance to see who from Week 1 can continue their momentum and if anyone is ready to turn it around after struggling. One thing we won’t be seeing is Joe Burrow taking the field.

We should still see a decent amount of the starters this week. Since we only have 3 weeks of the preseason, this could be closer to a game where we saw the starters play in to the second half. It is also possible that the Bengals take an ultra safe approach to playing their starters the entire preseason to ensure more people are healthy for Week 1.

Of course, it will also be nice to see the young guys get back out there after the starters. We won’t see Joseph Ossai who is recovering from a wrist injury, but there are still plenty of rookies to watch. Jackson Carman is a big name to watch along the offensive line. Cam Sample and Darius Hodges should also provide plenty of pressure on the defensive front again.

Surely Cincinnati will have new names pop up for fans to get excited for as well.
