"Terry McLaurin isn't available for the Washington Commanders in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. The prolific wide receiver is still working his way back from a quad/hip complication, and he has not practiced over the last three weeks. But according to one respected insider, that could be about to change. McLaurin hasn't been absent from much football since being drafted. He's missed as many games this season as he did from 2019 to 2024."
"The fact that McLaurin wasn't placed on injured reserve means the Commanders held out hope that the wideout could return within that four-week window. Based on the latest update from Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network, that could very well be the case. Pelissero highlighted that McLaurin has a chance to be active for Washington's pivotal Week 7 trip to the Dallas Cowboys."
"It's a shorter week to prepare, so the first two days of practice will be telling. If McLaurin is held out or is only doing the bare minimum, that doesn't bode well for his chances. However, if McLaurin can gradually ramp up his workload and hit his markers, that should provide the Commanders with enough confidence to suit him up at AT&T Stadium."
Terry McLaurin is out for Week 6 versus the Chicago Bears due to a quad/hip complication and has not practiced in three weeks. The Commanders did not place him on injured reserve, preserving the possibility of a return within the four-week window. An update indicates he has a chance to be active for Week 7 at Dallas if he progresses during the short practice week. Gradual ramp-up of workload and meeting recovery markers would likely convince the team to play him. McLaurin has missed as many games this season as he did from 2019 to 2024, and teammates have found coping mechanisms without him.
