Commanders Elevate Treylon Burks as Terry McLaurin Ruled Out for Week 9

McLaurin’s quad flare-up in Week 8 leaves Washington adjusting its receiver rotation with depth moves.

Overview

  • Terry McLaurin was ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks after reaggravating his quad in Week 8, with Dan Quinn calling his timeline too early to predict.
  • Washington elevated wide receiver Treylon Burks and defensive tackle Sheldon Day from the practice squad for Week 9.
  • Burks joined the Commanders’ practice squad on Oct. 16 after his release from the Titans and had not played in 2025 following a training-camp collarbone fracture that put him on injured reserve.
  • Deebo Samuel fronts the receiving group this week with Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore available, and Burks added for depth while Noah Brown remains on injured reserve.
  • The Week 9 absence marks McLaurin’s fifth missed game this season, likely ending his streak of 1,000-yard campaigns.
