Antonio Hamilton: Everything you need to know

Hamilton and the Commanders agreed on a contract Monday. Hamilton will join the Commanders ahead of the team's second preseason contest Aug. 18 versus the Bengals. The cornerback will help replace Kevon Seymour (undisclosed) in Washington's secondary after Seymour was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Hamilton (quadriceps) worked out for the Commanders on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hamilton injured his quad in Week 16 last season while with the Falcons and finished out the 2024 campaign on injured reserve. Now healthy, the 32-year-old is looking for a new opportunity ahead of the 2025 season. He has 109 regular-season games of NFL experience.

The Falcons placed Hamilton (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Hamilton injured his quadricep in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Giants. His placement on injured reserve means Hamilton will be forced to miss Atlanta's next four games. That means he won't play in the final two games of the regular season, and he would only be eligible to return from IR if the Falcons qualify for the playoffs and make it to the NFC Championship Game. Hamilton mostly played on special teams during the regular season and will finish with seven tackles (five solo) across 11 games.
