Trey Amos sat out Washington’s Monday night clash with Cincinnati due to hamstring tightness after Saturday’s practice. Washington treated it as a precaution, running Amos through on-field tests but ultimately keeping him out to avoid any setback ahead of Week 1. The short week and a looming preseason finale against Baltimore helped frame the decision. Amos’ absence came as the Commanders continue to evaluate their rookie cornerback in a field where every rep matters.

Amos has impressed this summer and appears to be in the mix for the third starting cornerback job, potentially lining up alongside Marshon Lattimore and Mike Sainristil as early as Week 1. For fantasy purposes, the absence isn’t a direct boost or downgrade, but it underscored the defensive depth Washington is building. If Amos is healthy and ready for Week 1 at the Giants, the Commanders’ secondary depth could be a sneaky contributor as the regular season arrives.
