The Washington Commanders showcased their grit against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, jumping out to a sizable lead over the Raiders despite missing QB Jayden Daniels, but they saw one of their offensive focal points go down in the third quarter.
WR Terry McLaurin exited due to injury shortly after a 56-yard reception that put Washington in position to punch the ball into the end zone for a touchdown.
McLaurin, who sat out most of training camp amid a contract dispute, got off to a quiet start this season but produced easily his biggest play of the year before exiting on Sunday.

Terry McLaurin injury update
McLaurin exited Sunday's game with a quad injury and was quickly listed as "questionable" to return.
It wasn't immediately clear when McLaurin suffered the injury, but he exited shortly after he was tackled one yard short of the goal line on a 56-yard reception. When the Commanders started their next offensive drive, McLaurin was seen standing on the sideline without his helmet with Washington leading by 18.

McLaurin had 74 yards on four catches when he left the game, though most of that production came on the 56-yard reception from Mariota's arm.
