Week 2 vs Cincinnati Bengals

The Redskins will open up FedExField for the first time to host the Bengals, who return to Landover, Md., for the second time in three preseasons, now led by their new head coach Zac Taylor.

The Redskins defeated the Bengals 23-17 in Week 3 of the 2017 preseason, where Chris Thompson led all Redskins pass catchers in receiving yards, while Colt McCoy led the offense, completing 8-of-11 pass attempts with a touchdown and a 121.8 passer rating. Additionally, the Redskins have won four of their five preseason home openers under head coach Jay Gruden.

Week 3 @ Atlanta Falcons

Washington will make its first visit to the state-of-the-art Mercedes Benz Stadium, as it will serve as host for the Week 3 "rehearsal" game, where projected starters typically receive their most in-game reps of the preseason in their final tune-up for Week 1 of the regular season. Washington is 10-6 all-time in preseason play against the Falcons.

Week 4 vs Baltimore Ravens

A frequent preseason opponent, the I-95 rival Ravens will square off with the Redskins for the fifth time in the last six preseasons. This time, however, the game will take place at FedExField.

Week 4 of the preseason marks the point where depth charts are tested. Projected starters are frequently rested, as coaches use the game to identify players who could become major contributors to the roster heading into final cuts. Current Redskins wide receiver Cam Sims used last year's preseason to his advantage, recording five receptions for 131 yards, ultimately garnering him a roster spot prior to Week 1.
