Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin suffered a severe knee injury during Monday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The injury occurred when McLaurin went to grab his knee, causing him to fall to the ground and be carted off the field on a stretcher. McLaurin's knee injury ruled him out for the rest of the game, and the Commanders quickly made the decision to remove him from the field.
In response to McLaurin's injury, the San Francisco 49ers players and coaching staff approached the sidelines to show support and wished McLaurin well. As McLaurin was being taken off the field, a cart was brought in with an aircast around his left leg. The extent of McLaurin's injury was concerning enough that the 49ers players joined the Commanders in offering their well wishes to the injured wide receiver.
With McLaurin sidelined, Stefon Diggs now leads the Commanders' receiving corps. Other players who could potentially see increased playing time due to McLaurin's absence include Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, and tight end Chig Okonkwo.
