Commanders Roster: Allegretti's Return, Daniels' Workload
1 Sep
Summary
- Nick Allegretti returns to practice, boosting confidence at center.
- Jayden Daniels received extensive training camp snaps.
- Trey Amos placed on injured reserve, missing first four games.
The Washington Commanders have solidified their initial 53-man roster, with coach Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters addressing recent decisions. Nick Allegretti, the team's center, has returned to practice after a calf strain, easing concerns about the crucial position despite limited preseason reps.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels received extensive snaps during training camp, exceeding 500 repetitions, which coaches believe has prepared him for a strong season. Conversely, top cornerback Trey Amos has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, indicating he will miss at least the first four games due to a fractured fibula and subsequent injuries.
The team also opted to keep seven wide receivers, a less common roster decision, due to the depth and diverse skill sets within the group. Several other players, including Daron Payne and Marcus Mariota, have also returned to practice, signaling improved health across the roster heading into the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.
