Overview
- McLaurin will not play against the Dolphins in Madrid but traveled with Washington as part of his rehab progression.
- Coach Dan Quinn, via ESPN's John Keim, said McLaurin has advanced to the on-field portion of his recovery from a quadriceps injury.
- Reporters in Madrid observed McLaurin doing light work during practice, signaling incremental progress even as he remains sidelined.
- He first injured the quad in Week 3, missed four games, returned in Week 8, then reaggravated it and is now set to miss a third straight game.
- With McLaurin out and Treylon Burks also ruled out after recent finger surgery, the Commanders expect Deebo Samuel, Chris Moore and Jaylin Lane to carry more of the receiving load, and coverage frames a Week 13 return as possible rather than confirmed.
