McLaurin suffered a non-contact knee injury in the team's Monday Night Football game against the 49ers. It was eventually revealed to be a torn patellar tendon, which could prove a difficult obstacle for the 31-year-old to overcome. He will likely attempt to come back, but it's doubtful the two-time Pro Bowler will be the same given the nature of the injury.

McLaurin sustained a torn patellar tendon with an expected timetable for return of approximately 10–11 months based on historical average of nearly 50 previous NFL patellar tendon tears; while the injury is not career-ending (about 60% of those players returned to the field), contract decisions will be made long before he is cleared to practice fully, and his future with Washington is uncertain despite seven years of defying expectations.

McLaurin ran a high cross route on a play-action 'Rider' concept against the Cowboys, working to about 20 yards depth as he crossed the middle of the field. The play was designed to attack single-high safety coverage, with McLaurin's route creating a conflict for the deep safety. Jayden Daniels read the safety playing shallow and opening his body to McLaurin's route, indicating the safety was looking to cut off that route, so Daniels instead threw to Treylon Burks on the go route.

While the injury is not career-ending (approximately 60% of players with this injury returned to the field), contract decisions will be made long before he is cleared to practice fully, and the source expects any future deal would likely be on different terms than his current three-year, $97M contract.

On the Commanders' Rider play-action concept against the Cowboys, McLaurin runs a high cross, working to about 20 yards of depth as he crosses the middle of the field. This combination with Burks' streak route is designed to attack single-high safety coverages like the one the Cowboys play, putting the deep safety in conflict between sinking back to stay on top of the go route or attaching to the high cross.

Worth noting that on the conference call, Quinn said with Terry McLaurin sidelined, he can see more targets for Antonio Williams. Not about taking his position -- Burks and Brown more suited for the X -- but needing more targets. [Retweeted](
