The Washington Commanders face the New York Giants on Sunday in pouring rain. Terry McLaurin is on the injury report with a hamstring issue and is listed as questionable, while Jayden Daniels is back after practicing fully all week. Here's everything we know about McLaurin's injury and his playing status vs. the Giants.
Terry McLaurin's injury status vs. Giants
McLaurin is a true game-time decision. The wide receiver missed Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury and was limited Friday. Even if he plays, expect his snaps to be limited.
Head coach Dan Quinn said the wet field and rainy conditions will not factor into the decision. Washington's John Keim reports a slight lean toward McLaurin playing. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
The bigger development for Washington is the return of Daniels. The quarterback was a full participant Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and carries no game designation. Backup Marcus Mariota is out with a knee injury, so the Commanders are counting on Daniels to stay healthy.
Daniels gets his top target back, but a limited McLaurin changes how the passing game looks. Stefon Diggs is also out with a hamstring injury after missing all three practices. If McLaurin is limited or inactive, the Commanders will have to lean on their other receivers.
So, when it comes to the question of whether Terry McLaurin is playing tonight vs. the Giants, the answer is probably, but expect a reduced role.
