"Terry McLaurin didn't go to injured reserve after suffering a disappointing complication during the Washington Commanders' victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. However, there was obviously more to the injury than met the eye. The wide receiver was initially diagnosed with a quad problem. McLaurin sought different opinions, which raised alarm bells. Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network revealed that it's more of a hip flexor issue, and the Commanders were going to continue with their cautious approach until there is 100 percent confidence in his health moving forward."
"It didn't take long for this optimism to diminish. McLaurin wasn't seen at practice over the first two days, aside from doing some stretching. All eyes were on Saturday's session to see if there would be any progress. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. McLaurin didn't do much of anything, which is no surprise. This sealed his fate, with the Commanders officially declaring him unavailable to suit up at Northwest Stadium with the primetime spotlight glaring."
Terry McLaurin remains sidelined with a hip flexor issue after an initial quad diagnosis and follow-up medical opinions. The Commanders are taking a cautious approach and will not clear him until they have full confidence in his health. Dan Quinn was initially optimistic about a Week 6 return, but limited practice participation and minimal activity during Saturday's session led to an official unavailable designation. This marks McLaurin's third consecutive absence. Washington will rely heavily on Deebo Samuel Sr. and the running game while Luke McCaffrey receives more offensive opportunities. McLaurin will continue a week-by-week rehabilitation plan.
