Will Commanders fill their open roster spot with a player returning from injured reserve? - All aTwitter

The Washington Commanders are navigating a roster crunch after placing cornerback Jaylin Lane on injured reserve, leaving them with an open spot to fill. The team has worked out three defensive backs—Marcus Allen, Antonio Hamilton, and Jack Henderson—with Hamilton having previously been part of the squad last season.

Meanwhile, the Commanders are closely monitoring several other players for potential returns, including cornerback Trey Amos, who has been progressing but faces an uncertain timeline due to his minimum four-game IR stint. Head coach Dan Quinn has indicated Amos may require additional ramp-up time even after clearing medical clearance, casting doubt on an immediate return in Week 5.

Other players like wide receiver Terry McLaurin and offensive lineman Charles Omenihu are also awaiting evaluations, while quarterback Jayden Daniels is set to start against the Giants this Sunday in London, per Quinn’s confirmation. The team’s injury management has been notable, though they remain outside the NFL’s top 20 most injured squads this season.
