Two cornerstones of the Washington Commander offense were not on the field for the start of practice on Friday.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) and wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) were not present, putting their status’ in jeopardy for this weekend’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Daniels missed last weekend’s game with the injury, which led to veteran backup Marcus Mariota making the start. McLaurin hauled in three passes for 74 yards prior to his injury.

McLaurin hasn’t practiced all week and likely will miss Sunday’s game vs. Atlanta, while Daniels was limited the past two days with his status up to doctors.

ESPN ‘s Adam Schefter provided the latest on McLaurin’s status on ‘ Get Up ‘ on Thursday morning. Dealing with a quad issue coming out of Week 3 and having yet to practice so far this week, Schefter said Washington could be trending toward McLaurin being out against the Falcons ion Sunday.
“In that same game, the Commanders look like they very well could be without Terry McLaurin , who suffered a quad injury on Sunday against the Raiders. Left the game, has been undergoing additional testing on that quad,” Schefter said. “Did not practice on Wednesday. If he doesn’t practice again today, that would tell you that this is certainly trending in a direction in which the Commanders are unlikely to have Terry McLaurin on Sunday.”
