What's going on with Commanders WR Terry McLaurin?
What's going on with Terry McLaurin through the first two weeks? It's not as bad as the numbers indicate.
In the wake of the Washington Commanders' opening season loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver Terry McLaurin received scrutiny for his limited involvement with only two receptions for 14 yards. McLaurin remained confident that more targets would come, as the Eagles frequently covered his side of the field. In the subsequent game against the Dallas Cowboys, McLaurin had two receptions for 50 yards, but missed a potential touchdown and a 15-yard catch due to officiating errors.
The Commanders' injury to Jayden Daniels, which occurred in the previous game, further complicated their offensive situation. Despite these setbacks, McLaurin has shown the ability to make clutch catches, as evidenced by his potential multi-touchdown opportunity in the Dallas game. While a low catch percentage may raise concerns, it is premature to question McLaurin's abilities, especially considering his past success with quarterback Marcus Mariota. For now, patience is advised as the team adjusts to the altered roster dynamics.
