Dan Quinn says he's glad Terry McLaurin remains a presence at Commanders camp amid contract dispute
Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that wide receiver Terry McLaurin told him directly about his request to be traded amid a contract dispute but the coach has not addressed the matter with the other players as the team continues to prepare for the season. 'The players today, they're more aware of contracts and things than they used to be,' Quinn said before practice. 'And they recognize that business part happens as well. So, for the team, we're just rocking and going and throwing some great practices. For Terry and the trade requests, man, that's part of normal business that's happening around the NFL.' The 2024 All-Pro has been holding in at training camp. He reported to camp Sunday after skipping the first four practices and parts of the offseason program. He remains on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury while contract talks continue. He remain a presence at camp though he hasn't been on the field. 'I'm really glad he's here,' Quinn said. 'I love coaching him, but the business side, that's kind of where it's at. Somebody asked me, is it a distraction? It is not.' McLaurin, entering the final year of a three-year extension signed in 2022, is seeking a new deal that would make him among the league's highest-paid receivers. He had 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns last season, helping Washington reach the NFC Championship game. 'We love Terry. I'm really glad he is here and hopefully he is out practicing soon,' Quinn said. 'And we also understand there's the business side of these things that (general manager) Adam (Peters) and his side and Terry and his reps are working through.' Meanwhile, McLaurin is working with the training staff to strengthen his ankle, Quinn said. McLaurin watches afternoon walkthroughs and hears the play calls while Quinn keeps everyone's focus on the work. 'It's a really cool place to come work and play football,' Quinn said. 'And we work hard at that, too, the environment. And so, (Terry is) definitely part of that … Even though he's not participating, there's still plenty to do.' Without McLaurin, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz are the top passing options for quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Offensive Rookie of the Year last season. 'I know that time will come,' Daniels said this week on McLaurin eventually rejoining the offense. 'Till then, if that's us getting in the film room and just talking ... we always talk. We talk ball. We talk life. So nothing's changed at all.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3

Ferrand-Prévôt takes the lead at women's Tour de France after commanding stage win
Associated Press SAINT-FRANCOIS-LONGCHAMP, France (AP) — French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt took a commanding lead at the women's Tour de France after launching a solo attack on the final climb of Saturday's penultimate stage. She is making her Tour debut at 33 years old and leads Australian rider Sarah Gigante by 2 minutes, 37 seconds and 2023 champion Demi Vollering of the Netherlands by 3:18 heading into Sunday's last stage. Last year's event had the smallest winning margin in the history of the women's and men's races, but Ferrand-Prévôt looks like winning far more comfortably, barring mishap. She won the mountain bike gold medal at last year's Paris Olympics and the Paris-Roubaix classic in April. Overnight, she trailed Mauritian rider Kim Le Court by 26 seconds heading into stage 8 from Chambéry to Saint-François-Longchamp, which took the riders on a 112-kilometer (69-mile) trek into the mountains. It featured an early climb of 13 kilometers (8 miles) up Col de Plainpalais before finishing with a tortuous ascent of 18.6 kilometers to Col de Madeleine, one of the most famed climbs in cycling. Ferrand-Prévôt made a move on her main rivals about 9 kms from the top, pulling away to chase after Niamh Fisher-Black and Yara Kastelijn ahead of her. She soon caught them and then rode unchallenged to clinch the stage win. Gigante crossed the line 1:45 behind her, while Fisher-Black rolled in 2:15 behind in third spot. Vollering placed fourth. Sunday's ninth and final stage from Praz-sur-Arly to Châtel is another mountainous route, with three big climbs, and is even longer at 124 kms. ___ AP sports: in this topic
