Terry McLaurin Expected to Miss Week 4 Due to Hamstring Injury

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was placed on the injury report on Friday with a hamstring problem, and team officials expect him to miss the Week 4 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts in London. The report, cited by Commanders beat writer Ben Standig, advises fantasy managers to consider alternative options for the upcoming game. McLaurin finished his season debut with a 30-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Marcus Mariota and recorded nine targets, an increase from four in the opening week. He also had several long-yardage opportunities, though a 20-yard touchdown was overturned after a review. The Commanders have added veteran receiver Stefon Diggs, who posted five catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the same game. Diggs is expected to assume the No. 2 receiver role, while McLaurin remains the primary target when healthy. The team’s new offensive coordinator, David Blough, indicated that the passing scheme will feature varied formations and route concepts to create flexibility for receivers. McLaurin, entering his eighth NFL season after a limited 2025 campaign, aims to return to a WR2 role if he can stay healthy. The injury update follows ongoing roster discussions, including interest in other wide receivers, but no trades have been confirmed at this time.
