Commanders Clear Amos, Armstrong and Way to Return to Practice

The moves boost depth at cornerback, pass rush and punting while the team says it will ease injured players back into full activity.

Overview

  • Trey Amos has passed a team physical and was removed from the active/physically unable to perform list, clearing him to rejoin the cornerback group in practice.
  • Dorance Armstrong also passed his physical and was activated off PUP, but head coach Dan Quinn said the team will use walk-throughs and light activity to build his workload slowly.
  • Punter Tress Way was taken off the non-football injury list after passing a physical, restoring Washington’s veteran option at the specialist position.
  • Amos had not practiced since suffering a fractured fibula in late 2024 and Armstrong produced 5.5 sacks in seven games before last season’s knee injury, which makes their returns notable for both performance and contract reasons.
  • Questions remain about depth because defensive lineman Deatrich Wise is still on active/PUP and the team is integrating veteran corner signings, so coaching and medical management will shape short-term availability.
