It only took one practice for Terry McLaurin to leave injury concerns in the dust

"Terry McLaurin was considered an ultra-reliable iron man before this season. The Washington Commanders' wide receiver never missed games, and he'd never been out for an extended period. As fate would have it, that all changed during the campaign in which he held out all summer waiting for a new contract. Any player can get hurt, whether they practiced over the offseason or came in off the street on short notice."

"McLaurin suffered a hip flexor/quad injury in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He returned against the Kansas City Chiefs but reaggravated the issue, putting him on the shelf again. But with some extended rest and more rehabilitation, the Commanders are hopeful he can feature in some capacity on Sunday Night Football this weekend. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that McLaurin, along with fellow long-term absentee Noah Brown, would return to practice this week."

"A video from practice shared by Scott Abraham from 7News DC showed McLaurin looking sharp and explosive. He was moving with more freedom than at any stage since the injury, which bodes well for his chances of being a focal point with the prime time spotlight glaring. McLaurin is just focused on making plays and staying healthy upon his return. There will be no Jayden Daniels to depend upon. Still, his rapport with veteran backup Marcus Mariota could be profitable if Washington's offensive line can somehow keep Denver's dominant defensive front in check."

Terry McLaurin entered the season as an ultra-reliable iron man but missed time after a hip flexor/quad injury suffered in Week 3. He briefly returned against the Kansas City Chiefs but reaggravated the issue and required extended rest and rehab. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed McLaurin and Noah Brown returned to practice this week, and practice video showed McLaurin moving with more freedom and explosiveness. The team is hopeful he can contribute in some capacity on Sunday Night Football. McLaurin will rely on staying healthy and building rapport with backup Marcus Mariota while the offensive line contains Denver's defensive front.
