Brian Robinson Jr. is on the outs after agreeing to sit out the team's second preseason game against the Bengals. In his place, the Commanders started Chris Rodriguez Jr. but turned to seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt for their second drive.

Hendrickson’s relationship with the Bengals has been rocky for months. The team gave him permission to seek a trade in March, but no trade partner emerged. He also skipped the first week of training camp while he and the franchise negotiated an extension. He did report to camp on July 30 but has not participated in practice.
