Commanders activate Terry McLaurin off the PUP list as contract extension talks linger
ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders activated Terry McLaurin off the physically unable to perform list on Saturday amid lingering contract extension talks with the All-Pro wide receiver. McLaurin, who is entering the final year of a three-year, $68.2 million contract signed in 2022, reported to the team on July 27 after skipping the initial four days of training camp and June's mandatory minicamp. That turned a holdout to a hold-in, but has not necessarily accelerated extension talks or returned McLaurin to practice. The team placed its top target on the PUP list with an ankle injury, and McLaurin requested a trade on July 31. He was not on the field Saturday for Washington's final practice before its Monday night home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. McLaurin and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels fueled an offense that ranked fifth in points scored last season and carried the Commanders to a 12-5 regular-season record and the franchise's first NFC championship game appearance since 1991. They haven't built off that success in camp with the Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the New York Giants approaching. Three other offensive starters have missed significant time with injuries. The activation comes one day after offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury expressed a desire to work with a full lineup. 'We need to start getting those guys, when they're available out there,' Kingsbury said. Head coach Dan Quinn said the PUP activation was about beginning the 'return-to-play' process where McLaurin acclimates physically with enough time for a hopeful return to action for the regular season, and that the receiver was 'on the same trajectory as everyone else (in terms) of doing the workouts.' 'We've got a real process in our return-to-play that we believe in,' Quinn said following Saturday's practice. 'We know it works. We'll hit all those steps.' Quinn said he doubted McLaurin would play in either of Washington's remaining preseason games. Daniels, along with other starters, are expected to play 'a few series' against the Bengals in their preseason debut, Quinn said.

Breaking down Packers' preseason win over Colts: What went right, wrong
The Green Bay Packers got three second half touchdowns, including the go-ahead score from Sean Clifford with under two minutes to go, to overcome 11 first-half penalties and an early 13-0 hole during Saturday's 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts in preseason Week 2. Matt LaFleur sat 29 players, some due to injury, some due to importance. Overall, only a few starting players were on the field for the Packers on Saturday, and the Colts -- who played starters throughout the first half -- went up early. LaFleur's team outscored the Colts 20-6 in the second half. Here's what went right, what went wrong and what it means for the Packers moving forward: What went right -- In a battle between the Packers second-string defense and the Colts first-team offense, the Packers actually came out OK. In fact, the Colts only scored three points across the two drives in which most starters played, and the Packers defense was only responsible for giving up 10 points on drives with Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson on the field. Three points came after a turnover inside the 25-yard line. -- The Packers scored three touchdowns in the second half, including one spearheaded by Israel Abanikanda's hard running and another in which Taylor Elgersma converted both a third down and fourth down. Sean Clifford converted a fourth down before his game-winning score on the final drive. -- Malik Heath caught a 9-yard pass in traffic and likely should have drawn a holding penalty on a deep ball, while Mecole Hardman produced a 21-yard catch on third down and a mistake-free day returning punts. Both veteran receivers bounced back from poor openers. -- MarShawn Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson both produced explosive plays in the passing game. Lloyd won deep and made a stumbling catch for 33 yards, while Wilson caught a short pass, made a man miss and then bowled over a tackler for 31 yards. -- Taylor Elgersma completed 7-of-11 passes for 109, averaging 9.9 yards per attempt. The game was moving fast early, but he settled in and made some throws down the field. He certainly has an NFL-caliber arm. The Packers scored three times with him at quarterback. -- The Packers had eight third-down conversions and converted all four fourth down opportunities and all three red zone opportunities. A big improvement situationally over the opener. -- Israel Abanikanda and Amar Johnson both had tough, physical runs to score touchdowns in the second half. -- Packers defensive linemen batted down or deflected four different passes. Bo Melton and Kitan Oladapo also had pass breakups downfield. -- Cornelius Johnson caught three passes for 41 yards (including one for 18 yards on fourth down), Julian Hicks had 45 yards worth of receiving yards wiped away via penalty (including a tremendous 31-yard catch along the sideline) and Isaiah Neyor got behind the coverage at least twice but was underthrown. The young receivers mostly capitalized on opportunities. -- Can't forget about Daniel Whelan, who put all three of his punts inside the 20-yard line, including a booming 59-yarder inside the Colts' 10-yard line. What went wrong -- The Packers were penalized 11 times in the first half, including five on Anthony Belton and several infractions that negated big plays or put the Packers in bad situations. Belton had back-to-back illegal formation penalties to end the half, and Matt LaFleur was not happy. -- The Packers didn't have a takeaway and lost the turnover battle again. Emanuel Wilson's fumble handed the Colts three easy points. -- Donovan Jennings struggled once again, especially early. A starter at left guard, he committed a holding penalty and gave up at least two pressures with Malik Willis at quarterback. -- Rookie kicker Mark McNamee left four points on the table. He missed a 39-yard field goal and an extra point in his NFL debut attempting kicks. -- Linebacker Isaiah Simmons looked lost in coverage early, and he missed at least one tackle (but finished with a team-high nine tackles while playing deep into the second half). Kamal Hadden gave up a few catches, had a holding penalty on a kickoff return and a holding penalty in coverage. -- Another potential injury for MarShawn Lloyd, who went out after catching a 33-yard pass in the first half. The Packers' 2024 third-round pick can't catch a break. What it means Very little overall. The Packers sat almost every important starter, so the evaluation for Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst was all about the depth of the roster. And in that light, the Packers got plenty of good tape on second-string players against starting level NFL players. Reviewing Saturday's film and finding the players who stepped up to the challenge could be a big part of picking the final spots on the 53-man roster. What's next The final week of training camp. The Seahawks are coming to Green Bay for a joint practice on Thursday and the preseason finale on Saturday afternoon. The joint practice on Thursday is the final open practice of training camp.

Commanders Coach Has Unfortunate Reveal After Terry McLaurin Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Saturday morning, the Washington Commanders took a step in the right direction with Terry McLaurin. Ahead of their second NFL Preseason matchup, the Commanders activated McLaurin off the PUP list. The team made an official announcement on Saturday morning. via @Commanders: We have activated WR Terry McLaurin off the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List We have activated WR Terry McLaurin off the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List — Washington Commanders (@Commanders) August 16, 2025 Commanders head coach Dan Quinn spoke on the situation, expressing excitement over the idea that McLaurin is now cleared for action after dealing with a minor ailment. However, the head coach made it clear that the activation doesn't mean that progress was made in contract negotiations between the Commanders and the wide receiver. "Definitely separate," he told reporters. "This is about him getting ready to play, which is honestly awesome. It's just cool seeing him get closer, because now you know [that] steps are getting closer to return to being on the field." Prior to getting added to the PUP list, McLaurin wasn't even around the team at the start of training camp. Seeing as though he wants a long-term extension with a price tag the Commanders aren't currently willing to meet, McLaurin was a holdout at the beginning of training camp. Eventually, the wide receiver showed up, but was quickly placed on the PUP. Earlier this week, Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury dropped a statement to the media, which suggested the obvious: having a key player sitting out on the side doesn't help much for the team. Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders runs with the ball against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on November 14, 2022 in Philadelphia. Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders runs with the ball against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on November 14, 2022 in Philadelphia."I don't know exactly how much you can get out of that," Kingsbury said at his press conference on Friday, via Pro Football Talk. "I think we're kind of at that point to where we need to start getting those guys, when they're available, out there and jelling to see where we are as an offense." Everybody on the Commanders, including the head coach and quarterback, understands McLaurin's situation. Every key member of the team outside of the front office has been supportive of McLaurin's approach. Still, at a certain point, they need their top wideout in the mix. There seems to be a lot of optimism surrounding McLaurin's eventual return. How long will it last without a new deal? That's the biggest question. At this time, it seems the Commanders still aren't willing to meet the two-time Pro Bowler's demands. At some point, somebody will have to budge.
