Commanders' Terry McLaurin arrives at camp, put on PUP list
"Terry McLaurin has reported and we're very happy about that," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. "He'll start training camp on PUP for his ankle."
McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was placed on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday.
He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac.
"On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things," Quinn said. "While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers."
McLaurin was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total after missing the start of training camp.
Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024.
McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Aaron Rodgers sends savage message to Pittsburgh Steelers teammate as tension rises in camp
Veteran star Aaron Rodgers has offered some brutal advice to a Steelers teammate ahead of the new NFL season. At their recent training camp, the 41-year-old was asked about second-year receiver Roman Wilson, who struggled to make an impact during his rookie season. Wilson's debut campaign was derailed by a hamstring injury in October but Rodgers suggested that there's something else holding the young star back. According to 93.7 The Fan, he said: 'I gotta get Ro out of his head a little bit. I think he's such a good kid. 'He cares so much, whether it's my approval or if he's doing it right. He's just gotta trust himself, because he's so damn talented. 'The more you can play free and not think out there, the better he's gonna play. The more he can just trust what he's got, and then just go out there and react, the better he can play.' Rodgers comments can only be viewed as constructive criticism to his teammate and it appears that the two have already established a connection on the field. In Tuesday's session, the two connect for an impressive touchdown, as Wilson dived to make a stunning catch. Speaking to The Athletic afterwards, Wilson said: 'Just trying to be open at all times. I want him to want to use me. I want to be that guy.' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will be hoping that Rodgers is able to rediscover his best form with the franchise, after they suffered an injury in the quarterback department. On Tuesday it emerged that Will Howard, who was selected in the sixth round of April's NFL Draft, has suffered a fracture in his hand after banging it during practice, While the young quarterback is awaiting further tests, it is not expected that he will be required to undergo surgery. However, he is still expected to be ruled out for at least three weeks with the 2025 season on the horizon. After spending 2024 at Ohio State following four years at Kansas State, Howard is entering his rookie year with the Steelers under the mentorship of Aaron Rodgers. The four-time MVP, who signed a one-year, $13.65million deal with Pittsburgh this offseason, is expected to suit up as Mike Tomlin's starter under center.

Secret Travis Kelce message that sends Swifties into meltdown at Chiefs camp
Taylor Swift fans may have found yet another invisible string linking the pop star and boyfriend Travis Kelce as he continued training camp this week. The Kansas City Chiefs star finally addressed reporters on Wednesday for the first time since the team kicked off training camp ahead of their bid to return to the Super Bowl yet again. However, Swifties were quick to zone in on the fact that Kelce's press conference came on the 13th day of camp as he prepares to enter his 13th season in the league. They connected the dots, highlighting that his pop sensation girlfriend's favorite number is 13. 'Someone in Kansas City needs a raise!,' on social media user posted. 'You are telling me that Travis Kelce hasn't spoken to the media all Training Camp, but his first time just HAPPENS to fall on Day 13. The Swifties have fully infiltrated the Chiefs media team.' 'the chiefs media knows what they are doing,' another added alongside a GIF of the songstress giving a thumbs-up. 'I've been loving all the swiftie bait recently lmao,' a third chimed in. Kelce himself didn't address his famous girlfriend, instead choosing to put all his focus on football. 'I've been lucky to be here for my 13th year now,' Kelce said. 'I just absolutely love this organization. I love the team, I love the coaches. 'I know just about every defensive coach, as well as all the offensive coaches and vice versa with the players and the staff in the equipment room. I have fun coming into work every single day.' The Chiefs have a long standing relationship with Missouri Western University, where they hold training camp at the Division-II powerhouse in St. Joseph. Players stay in dorms and have the tradition of spending time closer together instead of the teams that have camp and release players home every evening, and Kelce described it as a sanctuary. 'I love it here,' Kelce said of training camp. 'It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.' 'Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.' The tight end did, however, appear to make a subtle nod to the 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker when he praised quarterback and close friend Patrick Mahomes. 'Being away this offseason and coming back into training camp [shows] how fast his mind is moving,' Kelce said. 'It seems like he's always a step ahead, and his arm is alive right now. It's fun to see him know the play, know where he's going before the snap happens. On top of that, just being a leader and being our biggest, fearless competitor.' 'Fearless', of course, being a hit single from Swift's 2008 studio album of the same name that helped catapult her to stardom.
