Terry McLaurin returned to action on Monday night in the Commanders-Chiefs primetime game after missing the last four games with a quad injury.

Unfortunately, McLaurin left Monday night's contest in the fourth quarter after he seemingly re-aggravated the same injury. This is not the news Washington fans wanted to receive on Monday night, especially as they were dealing with a 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.

McLaurin made his mark in the game, though. In the second quarter, the receiver scored an incredible touchdown as he toe-tapped in the end zone before going out of bounds. The play was so close it was initially called an incompletion, but an expedited review gave McLaurin and the Commanders their first and only score of the game.

McLaurin caught just three passes on Monday night for 54 yards, including that 11-yard catch for the touchdown.

Washington next faces the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football this upcoming week.

Terry McLaurin gives update on his quad after game

In the locker room after the Commanders' loss, McLaurin provided more information about his quad. He said he was feeling O.K. and that he's taking the recovery "day-by-day" as his quad is a little sore here and there. McLaurin added that he's going to "see how the week goes and go from there" in terms of him playing in Week 9.

McLaurin added that he was just grateful to play for his teammates on Monday night and make the big touchdown play that he completed.
