- His injury raises questions about his long-term future with the Commanders.
Terry McLaurin, a key player for the Washington Commanders since 2019, will miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to a torn patellar tendon. The injury occurred late in the first quarter of Washington's Week 10 game against the New York Giants.
