Wide receiver Terry McLaurin did not practice on the field Wednesday but has been working out inside the team facility while nearing a return. McLaurin was activated from the physically unable to perform list Saturday. McLaurin is fully healthy but must complete return-to-play drills focused on maximum speed, deceleration and running pass routes before rejoining full practice. McLaurin stayed away from the team during the final year of his contract while seeking an extension. McLaurin missed Monday night's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals and his absence was excused, avoiding a possible fine. The Commanders do not require unavailable players to attend preseason games. McLaurin enters the final season of a three-year contract with a $22.7 million average annual value and is seeking a contract extension.
"I'm not going to play Where's Waldo moving forward, just so we're clear on that," Quinn said. "Terry's return-to-play format is no different than any of the other players. He's healthy, which is now a good step to getting closer to being back on the field. You'll see that earlier than later. I don't have a date circled on a whiteboard in my office. The good news is, we're getting closer to that, for sure."
"It's really custom to how we want to do things by players," Quinn said. "Some, they rehab here, some not on those particular days. That's how we decide to go through all the guys."
