Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that McLaurin (quadriceps) will return to action Sunday versus the Broncos, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin took part in drills this week for the first time since Week 8 prep, logging a limited practice Wednesday and a full session Thursday. With Quinn's seal of approval Friday, McLaurin is poised for just his second appearance since Week 3 following his recovery from a lingering quad injury. McLaurin will be working with fill-in QB Marcus Mariota this weekend after Quinn ruled out Jayden Daniels, who continues to rehab from his dislocated left elbow from Week 9.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Full listing Thursday
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.
McLaurin is seeking his first game action since Week 8 and just his second appearance since Week 3 due to a nagging quadriceps injury. With a full listing now under his belt, he appears set to return Sunday against the Broncos along with Noah Brown (groin/knee), the latter of whom will need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play this weekend.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Coming out of a Week 12 bye, McLaurin took part in an unofficial walk-through Monday and is now officially practicing with his teammates for the first time since Week 8. The Commanders likely will want to see McLaurin upgrade to full practice participation before he's cleared to play, as there isn't much reason to rush things at this point in the season. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) may also return soon, though presumably not for this Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Back on practice field
Rotowire
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (quadriceps) will participate in Monday's unofficial walkthrough, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin appears to have made the most of Washington's bye in Week 12, as Monday's session represents his first time handling on-field reps since aggravating his quad injury Week 8. It's possible McLaurin will be cleared to retake the field versus the Broncos on Sunday if he's able to ramp up his activity throughout the week while avoiding any setbacks. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also is slated to practice this week, though Marcus Mariota is expected to remain Washington's starter Week 13.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Week 11
Rotowire
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that McLaurin will not play in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
It's another early-week rule out for McLaurin, who doesn't seem to be particularly close to a return in what has turned into a lost season for the Commanders. This could also go down as a lost season for McLaurin, who has appeared in just four games, though he's left a pair of those early with quadriceps issues. Deebo Samuel and Treylon Burks (finger) paced the Washington wide receivers in playing time Week 10 against the Lions, followed by Robbie Chosen, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore in that order. McLaurin will have the Week 12 bye to try and get ready for a Week 13 date with the Broncos.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Week 10
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
McLaurin hasn't practiced since aggravating his quad injury Week 8 in his lone appearance since Week 3. He'll now miss a second straight game, with additional absences potentially ahead beyond that.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: On track to remain out Week 10
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that he's not expecting McLaurin (quadriceps) to play Week 10 against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. "I don't foresee [McLaurin] making it for this weekend," Quinn said. "Knowing it's game-game-bye, that has an effect. But I don't have a timetable."
McLaurin thus appears on track to miss his second straight game due to the quadriceps injury, which he aggravated in his return to action in the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs after he had previously missed the four contests before that. Though the Commanders seem content to evaluate McLaurin's status on a game-by-game basis, the team may be motivated to hold the receiver out for Week 10 as well as a Week 11 matchup with Dolphins in Madrid in order to avoid a setback heading into a Week 12 bye. Wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz are likely to serve as the Commanders' top pass-catching options while McLaurin is on the mend from the injury.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Likely to miss multiple games
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps), who is listed out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, could be at risk of being sidelined through the Commanders' Week 12 bye, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After missing four straight games due to a quadriceps injury, McLaurin suffered an aggravation in his return to action in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs. The Commanders quickly ruled him out ahead of their Week 9 contest, and the wideout also appears likely to be held out for next Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Rapoport suggests that with a Week 12 bye on the horizon, the Commanders could be motivated to keep McLaurin sidelined for their Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins in Madrid to give the 30-year-old additional time to heal. For however long McLaurin is out, more volume in the passing attack will be available for wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz, as well as the Commanders' other depth receivers.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Won't play this week
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
McLaurin returned from a four-game absence for Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs, ultimately exiting in the fourth quarter after aggravating his quad injury. He'll now miss at least one more game, with Commanders coach Dan Quinn saying Wednesday that it's "too early to tell" if the wideout will be out beyond Week 9.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Downplays quad injury
Rotowire
McLaurin said after Monday night's loss to the Chiefs that his quad is "alright," and he'll take it "day by day," Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin left the game in the fourth quarter with the Commanders trailing by multiple touchdowns, so perhaps it was a bit precautionary on Washington's end to keep him out for the remainder of the contest. However, it does sound like the veteran wideout did aggravate the previous quad injury that kept him out the previous four games prior to his return to action Monday. The Commanders now are on a short week ahead of next Sunday's home game against the Seahawks. McLaurin should be considered questionable for the Week 9 affair.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Exits MNF with quad aggravation
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Chiefs.
McLaurin was spotted on the sideline with his helmet on in the fourth quarter, but he didn't take the field with the offense and is being labeled as questionable. McLaurin, of course, missed the previous four games with a quad injury, so it appears as if he aggravated the issue. Prior to exiting, McLaurin reeled in three of four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown. Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane would be in line for additional offensive reps while McLaurin is out.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Officially cleared for Week 8
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation in advance of Monday's game against the Chiefs.
McLaurin's return in Week 8 will end a four-game absence due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained against the Raiders in Week 3. He and fellow wideout Deebo Samuel (heel) were full participants in practice all week, and their returns will boost a Commanders offense that will have Marcus Mariota serve as the starting quarterback in the absence of Jayden Daniels (hamstring). With McLaurin and Samuel back in the fold, there will be less targets to go around for the likes of Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Full practice Thursday
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday.
Both McLaurin and Deebo Samuel had no limitations to kick off Week 8 prep, indicating Washington's top two wide receivers are trending toward returning to action Monday at Kansas City. McLaurin himself has missed the last four games due to a quad injury but was seen cutting hard during individual drills at Thursday's session, per Commanders writer Ben Standig.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Set to return to practice
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday that McLaurin (quadriceps) is on track to practice this week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
McLaurin was listed as a limited participant in practice last Wednesday, then was held out of sessions Thursday and Friday before being ruled out for a fourth straight game in this past Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys. The wideout looks like he'll be ready to return to the field in some fashion when the Commanders kick off Week 8 prep Thursday. Washington could get both of its top wideouts back this week, as Quinn added that Deebo Samuel is also on track to resume practicing after sitting out the loss to Dallas with a bruised heel.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
McLaurin was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but he didn't participate Thursday when the Commanders actually held a practice. He then warmed up for practice Friday, before moving to a side field once his teammates started going through drills. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Friday that McLaurin is getting closer to a return, but it doesn't seem the wideout was all that close to playing this Sunday. Next week could be a different story, with the benefit of an extra rehab day before facing the Chiefs on Monday Night Football (Oct. 27).

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Present for Friday's practice
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) was spotted at Friday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Per Jhabvala, McLaurin went to the side field while the rest of the team started individual drills, so it remains to be seen how the Commanders list the wideout's official participation level. After being deemed limited on Wednesday's practice report, McLaurin logged a DNP on Thursday, so his his presence for Friday's session offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Cowboys. Meanwhile, fellow WR Deebo Samuel (heel) also was on the field Friday, according to Jhabvala, on the heels of consecutive DNPs.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Downgrades to non-participant
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) didn't practice Thursday.
McLaurin was listed as something other than a non-participant for the first time since injuring his quad Week 3 by being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough. His downgrade to no activity one day later may be related to maintenance, but he now has just one more session this week to prove his health. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not McLaurin has a chance to return to action Sunday at Dallas.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Could be back for Week 7
Rotowire
McLaurin (quadriceps) will remain out for Monday's game against the Bears but has avoided any setbacks in his recovery thus far and has a chance at returning to action Week 7 versus the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Since exiting the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Raiders due to the quad injury, McLaurin hasn't practiced in any fashion and is set to miss a third straight game Monday, though he's reportedly moved through his rehab program as expected thus far. While the Commanders remain hopeful that McLaurin will be ready to go for a divisional matchup in Week 7, he'll still likely need to take reps in at least one or two practices from next Wednesday through Friday in order to gain clearance to play. With McLaurin in street clothes for another game and with Noah Brown (groin) also sidelined Week 6, Deebo Samuel is expected to serve as the Commanders' top passing-game target for another game, assuming he's able to play through the heel injury that has resulted in him taking a questionable tag into Monday.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Monday night
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin and Noah Brown (groin) will both sit out Week 6, paving the way for all of Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore to handle increased offensive roles behind top available wideout Deebo Samuel (heel), who may himself be a game-time decision. McLaurin will end up missing his third consecutive game due to a lingering quad injury. His next chance to suit up will come Oct. 19 on the road against Dallas in Week 7.
