Commanders news: Terry McLaurin is 'not too pressed' about brutal start to 2026

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin admits he's not too concerned about his lackluster start to the 2026 NFL season. McLaurin currently sits with just 64 receiving yards after two games, having only caught four passes on 13 targets. Despite his slow start, the former Ohio State Buckeyes star remains optimistic, telling 7News DC that "everything is not necessarily clicking, but that's football. I know the plays will come. I'm not really too pressed."

In Week 2, McLaurin had just two receptions for 50 yards despite having nine targets, with a crucial 20-yard touchdown catch overturned. Additionally, he was seemingly open for a big play but fell victim to a poor pass from quarterback Antonio Gibson during a trick play. Joining McLaurin at the top of the Commanders' receiving corps are Stefon Diggs and Nicholas Wright, who have been putting up significantly better numbers.

Diggs has collected 102 yards and three touchdowns on nine receptions and 15 targets, while Wright has 88 yards and a touchdown on seven catches and seven targets.

The Commanders will face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, in Week 3 at Northwest Stadium in Landover. The Seahawks are currently leading the league with only 124.5 passing yards allowed per game, a figure that could pose a significant challenge for the Commanders' offense. Furthermore, the Commanders have been without their Week 1 starter Jayden Daniels for the season, who is sidelined with an elbow injury.
