The Washington Commanders announced 8 roster moves after holding tryouts for 14 players yesterday. The roster shuffle comes after the team’s 48-18 preseason opener loss to the New England Patriots on Friday night. Dan Quinn said the game wasn’t up to their standards, and was especially disappointed in special teams kickoff coverage that allowed two big returns including an opening kickoff touchdown by rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson.
The Washington Commanders signed three players today, and all three of them were at yesterday’s tryouts. LB Duke Riley and CB Essang Bassey were reported yesterday, and CB Antonio Hamilton Sr. joins them as new additions to the defense/special teams. Washington also released three players(DE Viliami Fehoko Jr, CB Allan George, LB Dominique Hampton). Fehoko Jr was injured on Friday night. Dom Hampton was a 5th round pick last year that was only active for one game, but looked lost on the field vs the Patriots.
The Commanders also placed two players on injured reserve. CB Kevon Seymour didn’t make the trip to New England and was one of seven players dealing with an injury. OT Lucas Niang was signed less than two weeks ago, but tore his ACL and is done for the year.
