The Washington Commanders (2-1) are expected to be without one of their most important players in Sunday’s road game versus the Atlanta Falcons (1-2), and the face of the franchise’s availability is also in some doubt. Second-Team All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin is likely out with a quad injury, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Quarterback Jayden Daniels’ status is up to doctors, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, as he works his way through a sprained knee.
Neither player were on the field for the start of Friday’s practice. McLaurin has been inactive throughout the week, so it would be quite surprising to see him suit up in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Daniels was a limited participant the previous two days and therefore has a much better chance to play. However, considering backup QB Marcus Mariota thrived in the Commanders’ 41-24 win versus the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday, the team could deem it wise to sit him another game.
