"McLaurin was professional enough to stay in shape. However, it was no surprise to see some rust against the New York Giants in Week 1. The timing was off with quarterback Jayden Daniels, and the Ohio State product was restricted to just two receptions from four targets for 27 receiving yards. The Commanders didn't need anything more from McLaurin during a comfortable afternoon's work."
"This didn't happen. And if McLaurin's lack of influence continues for much longer, the Commanders have a real problem on their hands. All Commanders fans want to see the McLaurin they remember. He's the game-changer on the biggest stages. When the stakes get higher and the lights get brighter, he almost always comes through. And now, he's finally got a quarterback with enough poise and precision to get the football where it needs to go."
A prolonged contract standoff caused Terry McLaurin to miss significant summer reps, limiting his preparation before the season. McLaurin maintained conditioning but showed rust early, struggling with timing alongside quarterback Jayden Daniels. Week 1 production was minimal, and Week 2 yards were largely in garbage time. He failed to create consistent separation or exhibit expected explosiveness. The reduced influence raises concern for the Commanders' offense if the trend continues. Both McLaurin and Daniels are putting in extra work after practice, but both remain in a catch-up phase while the team seeks to regain playmaking continuity.
