Commanders place Trey Amos and Jeremy McNichols on injured reserve

The Washington Commanders designated cornerback Trey Amos and running back Jeremy McNichols for return from injured reserve as part of the team's initial 53-man roster set on Sunday. Both players must miss at least the first four games of the season. Amos is recovering from a fractured fibula and a subsequent ankle sprain, while McNichols has been sidelined with a quadriceps injury sustained early in camp. Separately, the team placed defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. on the physically unable to perform list due to a quadriceps injury. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil and defensive lineman Johnny Newton remain on the active roster for now despite significant injuries that likely necessitate future moves to injured reserve. These roster adjustments arrive as the Commanders manage multiple personnel absences entering the regular season.
