Commanders plan to re-sign Fabian Moreau following Trey Amos injury
Summary

The Washington Commanders have placed cornerback Trey Amos on injured reserve, ruling him out for the first four games of the 2026 season. Amos, a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, suffered an ankle injury during practice, compounding recovery issues stemming from a fractured fibula sustained his rookie year. With the roster move, the team currently maintains only three healthy cornerbacks on the active 53-man roster. To address the depth concern, the organization is expected to re-sign defensive back Fabian Moreau. Moreau is a vested veteran and familiar with the defensive system employed by defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, having worked with him previously in Minnesota. These adjustments occur as the team faces uncertainty regarding the availability of other defensive personnel ahead of the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.
