"Terry McLaurin is set to end his four-game absence by suiting up for the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. There will be no Jayden Daniels throwing him the football, but veteran backup Marcus Mariota has already developed chemistry with the pass-catcher that should serve the team well. McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. both returned to practice in full this week. Neither wideout carries an injury designation into the Week 8 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs."
"Terry (McLaurin) is such a big loss. The guys (Jayden Daniels) has been playing with on the outside, I've actually been so impressed with what they've done, especially the last few weeks. But they're really hamstrung, so defenses are really saying, 'If we can load the box, we can play these guys one-on-one. We can really put an extra hat in the run game and we can put a hat down here for Jayden and his legs.' And I think that you've seen that the last couple weeks."
Terry McLaurin returns to the Washington Commanders after a four-game absence and will play Monday Night Football. Jayden Daniels will not play, but veteran backup Marcus Mariota has already developed chemistry with McLaurin. Deebo Samuel Sr. also returned to full practice and neither wideout carries an injury designation for the Week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaurin's immediate availability should force defenses to respect deep and intermediate routes, reducing defensive boxes keyed on the run. Alex Smith praised the impact McLaurin's return will have and noted younger receivers had been limited by defensive load management during his absence.
