"The Washington Commanders need all hands on deck to stand any chance of upsetting the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 on Monday Night Football. Unfortunately for head coach Dan Quinn, the cards are stacked against him once again. It's been one demoralizing problem after another this season. The Commanders had high expectations of going into the postseason after their memorable run to the NFC Championship game last time around."
"One of the most notable absences was wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The second-team All-Pro didn't practice all summer due to a contract standoff with general manager Adam Peters. It went on much longer than anyone expected, becoming a dark cloud over the team's preparations for the new campaign. McLaurin got his money, but only when it fit into the Commanders' long-term strategy."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 8 with urgent need for contributors to mount an upset over the Kansas City Chiefs. The team carries a 3-4 record after a season marked by injuries and setbacks following last season's NFC Championship run. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin missed summer practices due to a contract standoff and then suffered a quad/hip injury in Week 3, sidelining him for multiple games. McLaurin resumed full participation in three consecutive practice sessions and did not receive an injury designation going into the prime-time matchup, providing a timely availability boost.
