Commanders' Roster Moves: Amos & McNichols Injured, With Return Hope
31 Aug
Summary
- Commanders placed Amos and McNichols on injured reserve with return designation.
- Both players will miss at least four games but count against roster.
- Injuries to fibula, ankle, and quadriceps sidelined the players.
The Washington Commanders have finalized their initial 53-man roster, strategically placing cornerback Trey Amos and running back Jeremy McNichols on the Reserve/Injured list. This decision includes a designation to return for both players, preserving their opportunity to rejoin the active roster later in the season.
Amos has been dealing with a fractured fibula since the offseason and experienced further injury concerns with his ankle during training camp. McNichols, considered a strong candidate for the roster, saw his momentum halted by a quadriceps injury that cost him valuable practice time.
By utilizing both available injury designations during final roster reductions, the Commanders gain significant roster flexibility. Amos and McNichols will not count towards the 53-man limit while on injured reserve, though they must sit out at least four games before becoming eligible to return.
