Quick Summary

During Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin suffered what appeared to be a serious left knee injury while running a pattern. He was carted off the field in the first quarter and immediately ruled out of the rest of the game. This incident raises concerns for the team, as McLaurin has been durable but missed seven games last season due to an injured quadriceps. In this current season, McLaurin had 15 catches for 230 yards and one touchdown before his injury, missing one previous game with a hamstring strain.
