Episode 1,436: Terry McLaurin done for season, Dan Quinn expresses displeasure with offensive line and more

Let's talk Washington offense, and the expected now is official.

Washington's WR1 Terry McLaurin is done for the season.

Dan Quinn, during the opening statement of his day after the game press conference on Monday afternoon, revealed that McLaurin, in the loss, at San Francisco on Monday Night Football, suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee.

He's done for the season.

Terrible news.

Another instance of Washington over the last two years getting walloped by injury.

McLaurin on Monday night had one reception for 27 yards on one target.

He played on 10% of Washington's offensive snaps, just seven of Washington's offensive snaps, and he in the first quarter got carted off the field due to a knee injury.

It looked like a serious knee injury, and it in fact was a serious knee injury.

All the best to Terry McLaurin.

A torn patellar tendon, that is a nasty injury to have.

Terry McLaurin is one of the best receivers in Washington Commanders franchise history.

Terry McLaurin has the following rankings in Washington Commanders franchise history in terms of regular seasons.

Number five in receptions, number five in receiving yards, number eight in receiving touchdowns.

But he may well have played his final game for Washington.

Terry McCorn, for next season, his age 32 season, has a salary cap hit per OverTheCap.com and SpotTrack.com of $34 million.

No way is Washington now going to be willing to have him at that cap charge, given... that he over the last two seasons now has had a hard time staying healthy.

You know, Terry McLaurin had been an Ironman.

He over his first six NFL seasons, 2019 through 2024, played in 97 of a possible 100 regular season games.

He over the 2021 through 2024 seasons played in all 68 of Washington's regular season games.

But He in the 2025 regular season played in just 10 of Washington's 17 games due to a twice injured quadriceps.

And now he in the 2026 regular season will end up playing in just five of Washington's 17 games.

He missed one game due to a hamstring injury, and he's now done for the season due to a torn patellar tendon.

in his left knee, you feel awful for him.

But given where he's at contractually and that he over the last two seasons now has had a hard time staying healthy, it is entirely possible that this game was his last game for Washington.
