Dan Quinn expressed hope about the status of prolific wide receiver Terry McLaurin as the Washington Commanders prepare for their Week 6 primetime game against the Chicago Bears. But the signs are now telling a slightly different story.
McLaurin has missed the last two games with a quad complication. The wideout sought additional opinions, and he wasn't placed on injured reserve. This provided hope to fans that it wouldn't be a lengthy absence, but it remains a precarious situation that the Commanders are handling with great care.
Putting the second-team All-Pro out there before he's fully healed could have lingering ramifications at the business end of the campaign.
