Have a story up now about Jaden Daniels following in the footsteps of Joe Burrow at LSU,

what he said about that. And then on Monday, look for, I did a little oral history on Jaden Daniels's big game,

his record setting game, historic game against Florida last year.

And I think you'll enjoy it because it talks a lot about the skills that made him

so enticing to the NFL and the Washington commanders in particular.

So that'll come out Monday.

So anyways, in a minute, I'll be joined by my ESPN colleague in Cincinnati, Ben Baby,

as we discuss the Bengals.

He gives us all really good intel on the Bengals, what you can expect, where they are vulnerable,

why they are vulnerable, and what you can expect from that offense.

Now, when we recorded this on, I believe it was Tuesday or Wednesday morning, we hadn't really been to practices yet, but we recorded early in the week as we subsequently at practice, like one of the guys that we talked about was T. Higgins, would he play? And as, and I think even Ben said at that time, it was kind of trending that way. And it certainly looks like it continues to trend toward Higgins playing, and it could make a huge difference in that

past game for Cincinnati because teams have put so much emphasis on covering up Jemar Chase.

And Chase has not had a big game so far, but he will be targeted.

And if Higgins is out there, it just gives Joe Burrell another weapon to look for.

But they're also kind of banged up on the defensive line.

So check ESPN.com for the injury updates.

Ben Baby, you can check.
