Terry McLaurin was conspicuous by his absence during the Washington Commanders' second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Northwest Stadium. And now, the wide receiver faces another pivotal moment in his ongoing contract dispute with the franchise.
Fans were irked by McLaurin not showing up to support his teammates on Monday Night Football. The Commanders announced that the absence was excused, but it was understandable for people to be skeptical. After all, the wide receiver is not happy with his current predicament and has taken every drastic measure imaginable to force the issue on his extension this offseason to no avail.
