Tyler Owens stock continues to rise

Commanders rookie safety Tyler Owens has unquestionably impacted Washington’s special teams and defense throughout training camp and preseason, and he has one more game this Sunday against the New England Patriots to stamp himself as a member of the initial 53-man roster. The undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech has a long way to go before becoming an impactful defensive player when the games count, but the Commanders can use him on special teams immediately. His instincts, physicality, and effort have increased his stock and certainly generated some conversation about whose roster spot he’d be taking.
