"And it didn't take long for head coach Dan Quinn to put his stamp of approval on McLaurin's progress. McLaurin kept himself in shape while standing his ground in pursuit of another big payday. That gave him a solid foundation, but getting into true football shape is something else entirely. The only way that happens is with reps, and the former Ohio State standout missed a ton of those over mandatory minicamp, training camp, and the preseason."
"Quinn seemed highly optimistic when discussing the receiver before Wednesday's practice, proudly proclaiming that it's all systems go regarding the intensity of his workload. Quinn added that McLaurin is looking strong, which should alleviate the fears of fans who were apprehensive about his ability to assume his typical duties against a formidable Giants defense. It'll be a wait-and-see scenario when the two-time Pro Bowler gets into a competitive setting where things matter more."
Terry McLaurin resolved his contract standoff and rejoined the Washington Commanders but missed mandatory minicamp, training camp and the preseason, limiting game reps. He maintained general conditioning while pursuing a new contract, which provided a fitness base but not full football readiness. Head coach Dan Quinn endorsed McLaurin's progress and confirmed a normal practice workload ahead of Week 1 against the New York Giants. McLaurin may not be at peak game fitness and timing with quarterback Jayden Daniels could be off, yet his presence changes offensive dynamics and his professionalism and past production should limit complications.
