"McLaurin was quiet in Week 1, bringing in only two passes for 27 receiving yards. He was a bit more visible than that in Washington's loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, but a significant chunk of his 48 yards on five catches came with the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter. The Ohio State product has not played up to his high standards through two games."
"McLaurin has struggled to create separation and make contested grabs. He did have one highlight-reel juggling snag early in the going against the Packers, but that's about the only time that he's looked like the superstar Washington is accustomed to. It's worth noting that slow starts are nothing new for McLaurin. That's why pressing the panic button is foolish, for now."
"Last season, he had an even worse start, with only 39 receiving yards and no touchdowns against Washington's first two opponents. In the following game, he hit the century mark against the Cincinnati Bengals and scored his first of 13 touchdowns on the year. History will need to repeat itself for McLaurin. If not, there will be some uncomfortable discussions had about his actions over the summer."
Terry McLaurin held out of minicamp, training camp and preseason while seeking a contract extension and signed in the final week of August. He has recorded modest production through two 2025 games, hauling two catches for 27 yards in Week 1 and five catches for 48 yards in Week 2, with much of the latter coming late when the game was out of reach. McLaurin has struggled to create separation and win contested catches. Slow starts have occurred before; he produced minimal yards in the first two games last season before breaking out in Week 3. Concerns remain about conditioning and chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels.
