Commanders Open Training Camp With Three Starters on Active/PUP

The team took a cautious approach that could leave any player still on PUP when rosters are finalized on August 30 unavailable for the first four games.

Overview

  • The Commanders announced on Saturday that cornerback Trey Amos and defensive linemen Dorance Armstrong and Deatrich Wise Jr. will begin camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list while cornerback Fred Davis II was placed on the Active/Non-Football Illness list.
  • Amos fractured his fibula, Armstrong tore an ACL, and Wise suffered a torn quad during the 2025 season, and each remains in recovery with activation contingent on medical clearance.
  • Amos and Wise have offered upbeat public updates about their rehab, but the team emphasized medical caution and will only let players practice when cleared by medical staff.
  • Under NFL rules the players can be activated off Active/PUP during camp, yet any player still on PUP when rosters are finalized on August 30 will be moved to reserve/PUP and miss the first four regular-season games.
  • The moves reshape early depth charts at cornerback and on the edge after offseason roster changes and reflect a response to the heavy 2025 injury toll that contributed to last season’s struggles.
