Terry McLaurin Out for Game Against Bears

The Washington Commanders will be without wide receiver Terry McLaurin for their upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Dan Quinn announced this decision during a press conference prior to the game. This match, scheduled for Monday night, marks McLaurin’s third consecutive absence this season due to a quad injury.

Terry McLaurin’s Injury Status

McLaurin sustained his injury while attempting to score against the Las Vegas Raiders. Since then, he has not participated in official practices, although he was seen working on the sideline last Thursday.

Other Notable Absences

In addition to McLaurin, the Commanders will be missing Noah Brown, who has also been sidelined for three games due to groin and knee injuries. Brown has been a consistent target for quarterback Jayden Daniels when healthy, notably catching the game-winning Hail Mary touchdown against the Bears in their last encounter.

Player Progress Updates

Coach Quinn noted that both players are making significant progress in their recovery but are not yet ready to return to action. McLaurin’s absence places additional pressure on the Commanders’ receiving corps.

Supporting Offensive Players

• Luke McCaffrey: Recently made a notable catch for 50 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers.
• Deebo Samuel: Emerged as the leading option in the passing game, ranking ninth in the league with 300 yards and four touchdowns.

Injury Report and Game Status

Guard Sam Cosmi, who has been designated to return to practice, is still working towards his debut. He participated in a fully padded practice last Thursday but will not be active for this game. The Commanders will have a week to decide on his status: either activating him or placing him back on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the season.

The injury report also lists running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (calf) and tight end John Bates (shoulder) as active for the upcoming game.
