Commanders Injury Update: WR Terry McLaurin Day-to-Day After Leaving Early vs. Ravens
The Washington Commanders are thankful after their 29-28 win against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football.
While there was much celebration after snapping the Ravens' 24-game preseason win streak dating back to 2015, there was concern surrounding the health of Terry McLaurin, who left the game with a toe injury.
However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that McLaurin's MRI scans came back negative and the Pro Bowl receiver isn't expected to miss any time.
Considering the fact that McLaurin is arguably the best player in Washington's offense, this is really good news for the Commanders.
“McLaurin earned his first-career Pro Bowl nod last season after he led the Commanders in receptions (77) and receiving yards (1,191),” says NFL.com. “Despite being subjected to inconsistent quarterback play the last couple of seasons, McLaurin has shown that he’s still able to put up numbers for whomever is under center.”
Ranking No. 94 on this year’s NFL Top 100 list he’s making his first impression on the annual exercise in players ranking players, but it’s not because he’s new to the world of impressing his peers and counterparts.
In 2022, McLaurin showed more of his dominant side with an ability to take over games and almost will his quarterback into making better throws.
With young Sam Howell at the helm this season, we believe the second-year quarterback will take a page from that book and lean on his star receiver more than the passers did last year.
And in doing so, he’ll give the NFL world more McLaurin highlights to consume, and even more reason to recognize him as one of the best in the business.
