Commanders place cornerback Trey Amos on injured reserve before season opener

The Washington Commanders have placed cornerback Trey Amos on injured reserve with a designation to return, ruling him out for the team’s Week 1 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Amos suffered a sprained ankle during a training camp practice shortly after returning from a fractured fibula that ended his 2025 season. The injury serves as a significant blow to the Washington defense, as Amos was expected to fill the role of the team's primary cornerback. To compensate for his absence, the coaching staff will rely on a rotation featuring Amik Robertson, Mike Sainristil, and Rasul Douglas. Douglas, who previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles, is scheduled to make his return to Philadelphia for the matchup. The Commanders and Eagles are set to face off on Sunday, September 13.
