"McLaurin did nothing more than stretch on the one day he was spotted on the practice field this week. He's going through the rehabilitation phase, and the Commanders are being extra cautious with their most prolific pass-catcher. Judging by how little head coach Dan Quinn is giving away during his pressers when probed about the subject, all fans can do is wait."
"The second-team All-Pro spent all summer off the field during a drawn-out contract standoff with the franchise that lasted way longer than people expected. McLaurin getting hurt was always a risk, regardless of whether he'd participated in a full offseason program or not. That's the nature of the violent NFL business, but the sketchy timeline is becoming increasingly difficult to explain."
"Quinn offered nothing aside from the fact that all his injured players are trending up. He doesn't need to say anything else, but giving fans some additional clarity on the extent of McLaurin's issue and a potential return date could alleviate the uncertainty. It's a precarious situation. The Commanders are treading water without McLaurin, but they won't achieve their lofty objectives this season unless he's making a valuable contribution."
Terry McLaurin remains sidelined with a quad injury and did not travel to Los Angeles. He consulted the country's leading specialist in core muscle issues while undergoing rehabilitation. The Commanders declined to place him on injured reserve to keep the possibility of an earlier return. McLaurin has missed practice for a second consecutive week and only stretched on the one day he was present. Head coach Dan Quinn has offered limited public detail about the injury or timeline. McLaurin missed offseason work during a prolonged contract standoff, increasing injury risk. Washington needs his contribution but is avoiding rushing recovery to prevent further complications.
