Washington Commanders Sign Wide Receivers; Trey Amos Placed on IR
The Washington Commanders have made several roster adjustments as they prepare for their upcoming matchup in Madrid against the Miami Dolphins. With injuries impacting their squad, these changes aim to bolster their lineup in Spain.
Roster Moves by the Washington Commanders
The team has announced five significant roster changes, highlighting their ongoing struggles with player injuries. Notably, rookie cornerback Trey Amos has suffered a fractured fibula, leading to his placement on injured reserve (IR). This injury marks the end of Amos’s season.
Injuries Impacting the Lineup
- Trey Amos – Fractured Fibula, Placed on IR
- Marshon Lattimore – Torn ACL, Placed on IR
These injuries have left the Commanders’ defense increasingly thin. Recently, veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore was also placed on IR following a torn ACL. The team did not sign any new defensive backs following these setbacks.
New Wide Receiver Additions
In a strategic move, the Commanders added two wide receivers to their roster. Robbie Chosen has been elevated from the practice squad and has seen action in two games this season. Despite being targeted eight times, he recorded five catches for 53 yards.
- Robbie Chosen – Elevated from Practice Squad
- Jacoby Jones – UDFA, Yet to Play This Season
Jacoby Jones, who has been with the team since signing as an undrafted free agent earlier this year, has yet to see game time. Additionally, the Commanders have reinforced their practice squad by signing wide receiver River Cracraft and defensive end DeMarcus Walker.
Speculations on Player Elevations
There is speculation regarding DeMarcus Walker’s possible elevation for the Sunday game, which could indicate concerns for defensive end Jalyn Holmes, who was a healthy scratch last week. River Cracraft returns as a veteran presence, having spent time with the Commanders earlier in the year.
With these roster moves, the Washington Commanders aim to adapt to their challenges while striving for success in their international game against the Miami Dolphins.
