Commanders Fear Significant Knee Injury for Terry McLaurin After 23-17 Loss to 49ers

Summary

  • Dan Quinn said after Washington’s 23-17 loss that the team fears Terry McLaurin suffered a significant left knee injury and will send him for scans Tuesday.
  • Late in the first quarter, McLaurin collapsed near the sideline on a third-and-9 sack play, grabbed his knee and was carted off with an air cast after what appeared to be a non-contact injury.
  • Washington lost its top receiving threat early; McLaurin had one catch for 27 yards before exiting and now sits at 15 receptions for 230 yards and a touchdown this season.
  • The setback deepens durability concerns for the five-time 1,000-yard receiver, who already missed one game this year with a hamstring strain after seven absences last season.
