"Injuries happen. It's part of the NFL's brutal nature. And the Washington Commanders are dealing with more health issues than most just three games into the 2025 campaign. Several key figures are either on injured reserve or out for the season. Several more are dealing with nagging problems that require considerable attention to prevent them from escalating. Superstar quarterback Jayden Daniels missed Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he's not guaranteed to feature this weekend versus the Atlanta Falcons, either."
"There's also a new concern. And it could add Terry McLaurin's name to a long list of wide receivers who got injured after holding out over the summer. Commanders face anxious wait as Terry McLaurin looks to avoid going onto infamous list McLaurin suffered a quad complication in the third quarter. He didn't return, but the Commanders had the luxury of being cautious with the game out of sight. According to Adam Schefter from ESPN, the wideout's participation in Week 4 is in doubt as he gathers information."
"The list of wide receivers who get hurt after holding out is lengthy, and it dates back decades. After a lengthy holdout before being traded, Joey Galloway tore his ACL in his first game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. Brandon Aiyuk lasted seven games last season before suffering the same injury. Vincent Jackson, whose absence lasted all the way into Week 12 of the 2010 season, injured his calf upon his return and missed time after."
Injuries have significantly impacted the Washington Commanders three games into the 2025 season. Several key players are on injured reserve or out for the year, while others manage nagging issues requiring careful handling. Quarterback Jayden Daniels missed Week 3 and remains uncertain for Week 4 versus the Falcons. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin left Week 3 with a quad complication and did not return; his participation in Week 4 is in doubt as he gathers information. McLaurin's situation draws attention to a pattern of receivers suffering injuries after offseason holdouts, with historical examples including Joey Galloway, Brandon Aiyuk, and Vincent Jackson.
