David Blough delivers the message Terry McLaurin and Commanders needed most

Few Washington Commanders players came under more scrutiny during an underwhelming 2025 campaign than star wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

The 2024 second-team All-Pro began his seventh year in Washington as a no-show in training camp and preseason during a dramatic contract standoff with general manager Adam Peters. The matter was resolved in time for the regular season, but he started slowly and then suffered a quad/hip flexor injury in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

McLaurin missed seven of Washington's next eight games, eventually finishing the season with 582 receiving yards and three touchdowns from 38 receptions.
