Commanders cornerback Trey Amos sidelined by ankle soreness ahead of preseason
Washington coach Dan Quinn said rookie cornerback Trey Amos remains unable to practice after aggravating an ankle injury, causing him to miss the second preseason game.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced that rookie cornerback Trey Amos, a 2025 second-round selection, will not play in the second preseason game after re-aggravating an ankle injury. Amos had cleared the Physically Unable to Perform list on August 7 following a broken fibula suffered last season, but a setback on August 8 left him with significant soreness. Quinn said Amos will be limited to light side-work and will not be able to fully participate this week.
The injury comes as the team evaluates depth at cornerback, especially given Mike Sainristil's inconsistent performance in 2025. Questions remain whether Amos will be ready for the final joint scrimmage against the Ravens or if the team will place him on injured reserve to miss the first four games.
Why it matters
The injury could affect the Commanders' cornerback depth and roster decisions heading into the regular season.
