Commanders Enter Week 4 With McLaurin Unlikely to Play, Daniels’ Status Uncertain

Doctors have ruled out surgery for Terry McLaurin, leaving Washington to lean on depth.

Overview

  • Terry McLaurin missed practice for a second straight day with a quad injury after seeking multiple opinions, including a visit to core‑muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers.
  • NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports no surgery is planned for McLaurin at this time, yet he is trending toward sitting out Sunday at Atlanta.
  • Jayden Daniels practiced on a limited basis again and said his availability will be determined by team doctors.
  • Marcus Mariota is available to start if Daniels is not cleared, and Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz are expected to carry a larger workload if McLaurin is sidelined.
  • Washington’s latest report also listed Noah Brown and John Bates as non‑participants and noted RB Jacory Croskey‑Merritt did not practice, reinforcing Dan Quinn’s “next man up” approach.
