Overview

  • The team removed McLaurin from the physically unable to perform list Saturday, making him eligible to begin practice work, initially on a separate field with trainers.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn and team sources emphasized that the roster move is health related and not tied to ongoing extension negotiations.
  • Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury stressed the urgency for McLaurin to log on-field reps to build timing with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels before the Sept. 7 opener.
  • McLaurin has formally requested a trade and remains in a standoff, targeting a DK Metcalf–type deal near $33 million per year while Washington’s ceiling hovers around $28 million.
  • Unverified social-media posts suggest a near-$30 million annual agreement could be imminent, but no official confirmation has emerged ahead of the Aug. 26 roster deadline.
