Commanders' Trey Amos Back, But Not a Quick Fix
30 Oct
Summary
- Cornerback Trey Amos returned after a fibula injury and ankle setback.
- Defensive coordinator Daronte Jones stated Amos' return won't instantly fix the defense.
- Amos played 58% of defensive snaps in his recent return game.
Washington Commanders cornerback Trey Amos has made his return to the field after a challenging recovery period. Amos suffered a season-ending fibula fracture in November of the 2025 season and faced further setbacks with an ankle injury during training camp.
Despite his return, defensive coordinator Daronte Jones tempered expectations, stating that Amos is not solely responsible for rectifying the team's pass defense. Jones acknowledged Amos's hard work in returning to play alongside his teammates but cautioned that a complete return to his pre-injury form will take time and consistent practice reps.
Amos saw action in 58% of defensive plays in the recent game against the 49ers, all at cornerback. His snap count is expected to increase as he progresses towards full recovery and integrates into the new defensive scheme under Jones. General Manager Adam Peters drafted Amos in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
