Hamilton will replace Kevin Pierre-Louis in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Hamilton has been quiet in a depth role this season, notching 17 tackles (11 solo) across 13 games.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Unable to suit up
Hamilton (chest) didn't play in Thursday's preseason loss to the Bengals.
Listed as a starter on the preseason depth chart, Hamilton could be tasked with a three-down role after the Redskins lost Reuben Foster to a severe knee injury and later released Mason Foster. Such a role likely would lead to IDP utility, but Hamilton first needs to get healthy before Week 1. Other candidates for playing time at inside linebacker include Jon Bostic, Cole Holcomb and Josh Harvey-Clemons.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Leaves game Thursday
Hamilton suffered a chest injury and will not return to Thursday's preseason game against the Browns, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
It's unclear how Hamilton picked up the injury, but it's serious enough to keep him out of the game. Hamilton is expected to take on a starting role at linebacker this season, so his absence for the rest of the game could be for precautionary reasons. Expect the team to comment on his status following the game.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Working with starting defense
Hamilton worked with the starting defense at OTAs in late May, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Washington has a few different options to replace Reuben Foster, who suffered a torn ACL on May 20. The team may also opt to use a rotation, with some combination of Hamilton, Josh Harvey-Clemons, Cole Holcomb and Jon Bostic all in the mix to get playing time alongside Mason Foster at inside linebacker. A 2018 sixth-round pick, Hamilton played 247 snaps on special teams and just 129 on defense during his rookie season, but he did manage 27 tackles (19 solo), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Finishes rookie season strong
Hamilton finished his rookie season with 28 tackles (19 solo), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games.
Hamilton got the vast majority of his playing time in December, starting the final four games of the season while Zach Brown saw his own role reduced. Team tackle leader Mason Foster is expected back in 2019, but there should be a nice opportunity for Hamilton to earn a starting job with Brown shaping up as a likely cap casualty. The 2018 sixth-round pick may need to compete with 2017 seventh-round pick Josh Harvey-Clemons, who has strictly been used on passing downs.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Clear of injury designation
Hamilton (shoulder) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Hamilton started over Zach Brown last week but suffered a strained shoulder and began the week as a limited participant, but was able to practice fully Friday. It remains unclear whether Brown or Hamilton will draw the start at Jacksonville, muddling any IDP potential for both players.

Redskins' Shaun Dion Hamilton: Strains shoulder in loss
Hamilton strained his shoulder in Sunday's game against the Giants, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Hamilton drew the start over Zach Brown on Sunday and totaled a team-high eight tackles before exiting with his injury. He had seen just nine defensive snaps prior to Sunday, and he performed fairly well in his starting debut. It's unclear if the strain will sideline him in Week 15, or if he'll be able to play through the injury. He should be considered questionable for the time being.
