They had one spot open after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hogshaven.com\/draft\/411087\/washington-commanders-undrafted-free-agents-signed-rookie-minicamp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">signing 9 undrafted free agents<\/a>, and they decided to bring back veteran cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr to complete the 91-man roster (for now).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hamilton joined the team in August last year, during training camp, and after their first preseason game. He was on the practice to start the season, but was signed to the 53-man roster two weeks after Jonathan Jones was placed on injured reserve. Hamilton was active for 15 games last season, starting one at cornerback. He played almost half the snaps on special teams, and 115 snaps on defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Commanders signed two cornerbacks in March free agency (Amik Robertson and Ahkello Witherspoon) after releasing starter Marshon Lattimore. They didn\u2019t draft one with any of their six draft picks, but they did sign one undrafted college player after the draft (Fred Davis II). Washington has Mikey Sainristil and Trey Amos coming back, with the latter expected to be starting along with Robertson. Washington\u2019s depth is thin, and Hamilton adds another veteran to the mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The rookie tryouts are done for now, and nobody from this weekend\u2019s minicamp was signed to the Washington&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":888396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[107294,427,7,6,855,111,6220,2480],"class_list":["post-888395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-washington-commanders","tag-2026-washington-commanders-free-agency","tag-commanders","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-washington","tag-washington-commanders","tag-washington-commanders-free-agency","tag-washingtoncommanders"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116556308393784572","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=888395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/888396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=888395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=888395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=888395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
