Amos suffers injury vs. Packers

Amos hurt his shoulder after making a great play to save a touchdown against the Packers in the first quarter. On fourth down, Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw a pass to rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden that looked like it was going to find the end zone.

However, Amos swatted the ball to the ground before it could reach Golden's hands, keeping the game scoreless.

Amos has earned his playing time for the Commanders defense after being a standout early in training camp this summer.

“I feel like just trying to get comfortable early and understanding the defense, getting to know my players, getting to know my coaches and just trusting them and trying to gain respect,” Amos said back in July. “Day by day and just earning respect each and every day. I'm on the field and off the field.”

The Commanders defense could be down bad with Amos out, so they are hoping for a speedy recovery from the rookie out of Ole Miss. If Amos were to miss any time, the Commanders would rely on veterans Jonathan Jones and Noah Igbinoghene to fill in the gaps.

The Packers hold a 7-0 lead over the Commanders at the end of the first quarter. Fans can stream the game on Amazon Prime Video.
