Terry McLaurin played in weeks one through three for the Commanders. He has 10 catches on 17 targets for 149 yards. This offseason, there were contract disputes between Terry McLaurin and Washington. The star WR wanted to be paid a price the Commanders were not willing to offer. Finally, in late August, McLaurin signed a three-year contract extension worth $96 million. Since he signed that deal, Terry McLaurin has played in three of the team’s seven games.
On top of Terry McLaurin being out in Week 7, Washington could also be without the services of WR Deebo Samuel. He is dealing with a heel injury and has played in all six games for the Commanders. Samuel leads the team with 34 catches for 315 yards. If the team’s top two WRs are out, Luke McCaffrey, Chris Moore, and rookie Jaylin Lane would see increased production. McLaurin is already ruled out, and the team will give an update on Samuel ahead of Sunday.
