3 Commanders who survived cut-down day but aren't safe just yet
Briefly

Rumors circulated that the Commanders shopped cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, but he remained on the initial 53-man roster while trade discussions may continue. League-wide moves will increase after cutdowns as general managers reassess available players and Adam Peters keeps options open. Veterans like Mike Hilton and Marquez Valdes-Scantling found new teams almost immediately upon release. Each roster addition via trade, waivers, or free agency requires a corresponding cut. Many of the 53 players appear secure, but several spots remain tenuous. Quarterback Josh Johnson secured the third QB role by default yet has not inspired confidence and faces possible demotion. Trent Scott has served as a swing tackle backup but faces competition and uncertainty.
