The Washington Commanders have an update on wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who is dealing with a quad injury. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, McLaurin is uncertain to play in the team’s Week 4 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. McLaurin is still seeking more information about the injury.

The injury occurred during the Commanders’ 41-24 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. When he exited the game, the Commanders announced that McLaurin suffered a quad injury and was questionable to return. He had three catches for 74 yards in the win on Sunday.

Terry McLaurin has been with the Commanders since the team selected him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He had one of his best seasons in 2024, catching 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. McLaurin’s production has led to him being selected to the All-Pro Second Team and the Pro Bowl for the second time in his career.

Terry McLaruin signed big contract before start of 2025 season

Before the start of the 2025 season, McLaurin signed a three-year, $96 million contract extension with the Commanders. After signing his contract, McLaurin talked about how he wants to be remembered during his time in Washington.

“I just want them to know that I was like a dog, genuinely,” McLaurin said, per the Commanders’ official website. “Everything that I did, I was very detail-oriented. I never took a play off; I never took practice off. I really just gave everything to the process. And I love having fun out there on the field. When you need a play, I’m gonna be the guy that you can always count on, whether I got 10 catches in the game or one. When we need to play, I hope people can say, ‘we can always count on Terry.'”

McLaurin also talked about being close to winning a Super Bowl with the Commanders. “I’ve never felt closer to that since I’ve been here, outside of last year,” McLaurin said. “So, the things that we built on to try to get back to that space are something that I’m really most looking forward to.”

The Commanders have begun the season with a 2-1 record. They are facing a Falcons team that is 1-2 and coming off a 30-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
