So, getting him back out there, that’s a big deal...Obviously, for the deep ball, that’s Terry’s superpower of tracking the deep balls to go, but there’s screens, there’s intermediate routes, he’s a very good route runner. There’s an energy that goes with that...To see that come back after some frustrating days and hard conversations and quiet moments to work hard and get back, it’s a big deal.”McLaurin also feels confident, reports no quadriceps tightness, and likes his acceleration while running routes. He said his acceleration is back, and he is not thinking about it at all.

He said the plan was always for everyone to be part of the offense, make plays, and feed off each other, and he hopes everyone stays healthy and can contribute. “The plan at the beginning of the season was for all of us to be part of this offense and make plays and feed off of one another,” McLaurin said. “I think we’ll have a chance…To hopefully see that, praying that everybody is healthy and can contribute.”The wide receiver wants to keep playing and is encouraged that his teammates and coaches feel he has not missed a step. He has confidence in himself. “I plan to play as much as I can and as much as they’ll allow me to,” McLaurin said in Wednesday’s press conference. “It’s really encouraging to hear from my teammates and coaches that they don’t feel like I’ve missed a step. I just have a confidence about myself.”According to BetMGM:More coverage on Washington Commanders:Heartwarming moment: President Donald Trump gifts challenge coin to a young Jayden Daniels fan during Commanders vs. Lions gameThrowback to Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels’ interview about his mother Regina JacksonWashington Commanders' Week 2 injuries to Austin Ekeler, Deatrich Wise Jr., Noah Brown, and John Bates leave Jayden Daniels feeling challenged
