Terry McLaurin missed the Washington Commanders' second preseason game and his absence was officially excused. He was activated from the physically unable to perform list but did not participate in any immediate practices before the preseason outing. McLaurin has not practiced with teammates for months and, while he is staying in shape, he lacks the practice and game reps necessary to regain full timing. He has pursued drastic measures this offseason to secure an extension and has been unwilling to return to practice without a new deal. Insiders report little progress in talks with general manager Adam Peters, while teammates express frustration and uncertainty.
Fans were irked by McLaurin not showing up to support his teammates on Monday Night Football. The Commanders announced that the absence was excused, but it was understandable for people to be skeptical. After all, the wide receiver is not happy with his current predicament and has taken every drastic measure imaginable to force the issue on his extension this offseason to no avail.
Commanders and Terry McLaurin face another pivotal moment in contract dispute There isn't much time for McLaurin to get back into the groove. He's not practiced with his teammates for months. While the former third-round pick out of Ohio State is staying in shape, there is no substitute for practice and game reps to hone your craft. He should know that better than anybody.
