Overview
- The Washington Commanders announced on Saturday that cornerback Trey Amos and defenders Dorance Armstrong and Deatrich Wise Jr. will begin training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list while cornerback Fred Davis II goes to the Active/Non‑Football Illness list.
- Active/PUP roster status lets a player return to practice as soon as medical staff clear him but requires a transfer to reserve/PUP if the player is still on the list when rosters are finalized on Aug. 30, which brings a minimum four-game absence.
- Amos fractured his fibula in 2025, Armstrong tore an ACL in Week 7 and Wise suffered a quad tear in Week 2, and all three have given public but nonspecific updates saying their rehab is progressing.
- The decisions reflect a conservative approach after the 2025 season cost Washington key starters and led the team to add veteran depth at cornerback and edge rusher in the offseason.
- The immediate items to watch are any practice activations during camp and the club’s Aug. 30 roster moves because those outcomes will determine early-season availability and how the Commanders’ defensive depth shapes the opener.
