Terry McLaurin Out for Game Against the Bears Latest Updates
Washington Commanders’ wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed this during a Saturday press conference. This will be the third game McLaurin misses this season due to a quad injury sustained against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Terry McLaurin Injury Updates
McLaurin has not participated in official practices since his injury, although he was seen working out separately during Thursday’s session. His absence continues to affect the Commanders’ offensive lineup, as the team awaits his recovery.
Impact of Absences on the Commanders
In addition to McLaurin, wide receiver Noah Brown will also be unavailable, having missed the last three games due to groin and knee issues. Brown has been an important asset for quarterback Jayden Daniels, contributing significantly since joining the Commanders last season.
Adjustments in the Offense
- Luke McCaffrey caught a notable 50-yard pass in a previous game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Deebo Samuel, expected to play against the Bears, ranks ninth in receptions with 300 yards and four touchdowns.
Progress on Player Recoveries
Coach Quinn stated that both McLaurin and Brown are progressing well, but recovery isn’t complete. McLaurin’s absence highlights the necessity for other wide receivers to continue stepping up in the lineup.
Sam Cosmi’s Status
Offensive guard Sam Cosmi, designated to return to practice, will remain inactive for the game against the Bears. Cosmi took part in a fully-padded practice, a significant step as he aims for a return in 2025. The Commanders have a week to decide on his activation.
Other Players on the Injury Report
Running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. and tight end John Bates, listed with minor injuries, are expected to play on Monday.
