The Washington Commanders will be without wide receiver Terry McLaurin for the fifth time this season when they take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. McLaurin reaggravated his quad injury that cost him four games before returning last week to face Kansas City. McLaurin was excellent in his return, catching three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. It was his diving catch on the sideline that forced him out of the game.
While the McLaurin news is disappointing for the Commanders, there was good news. Quarterback Jayden Daniels practiced fully all week and will play.
“Jayden will be back, and yeah, we’re all pumped for that,” head coach Dan Quinn said on Friday. “He’s just got a unique way about him, elevates the others as we’re going through things. He’s just, it’s hard to defend with two plays that could take place, gets outside, running and passing, and so, really pumped to have him here.”
What about left tackle Laremy Tunsil? Defensive tackle Johnny Newton?
Here’s Washington’s full injury report for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Considering how much Tunsil appeared to be in on Monday night, it’s encouraging to see him listed as questionable. Newton missed two days of practice, but did practice on a limited basis on Friday. Bates practiced fully on Thursday but was limited on Friday.
Here is Seattle’s final injury report:
Five players are out for Seattle, but safety Julian Love was the most notable. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp is questionable for the Seahawks.
