Commanders<\/a> wide receiver Terry McLaurin<\/a> was carted off with his left leg in an air cast late in the first quarter of Washington’s Week 6 “Monday Night Football” game at the 49ers<\/a>. It’s officially a knee injury, and he is out for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

McLaurin went down while running a route, clutching at his knee, and was unable to get to the sideline under his own power.<\/p>\n

McLaurin, 31, has been a staple for Washington since being drafted in the third round in 2019. He had missed one game (Week 4) due to a hamstring injury but still leads the Commanders with 230 receiving yards this season, including a 27-yard catch early in Monday’s contest.<\/p>\n

McLaurin’s injury is just the latest for a snake-bitten Commanders team that lost Jayden Daniels<\/a> (elbow) for a couple of games earlier this year and has not had Laremy Tunsil<\/a> all season after he tore his triceps in training camp. Marcus Mariota<\/a>, Stefon Diggs<\/a>, Sam Cosmi and Chig Okonkwo have also missed time, and starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt<\/a> landed on IR this week as well.<\/p>\n

Washington (1-3-1) trailed 14-3 at the time of McLaurin’s departure. Diggs, Okonkwo and rookie Antonio Williams<\/a>\u00a0figure\u00a0to be more involved going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McLaurin went down while running a route late in the first quarter Oct 19, 2026 at 9:10 pm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":934412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[133477,64,63,60185,2363,39608,3367,593,1262,85,15203,1251,1272],"class_list":["post-934411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-antonio-williams","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-jacory-croskey-merritt","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-laremy-tunsil","tag-marcus-mariota","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports","tag-stefon-diggs","tag-terry-mclaurin","tag-washington-commanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
