Terry McLaurin carted off with left knee injury during first half

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was taken off the field on a cart after his left leg gave out during a third-down play with 2:16 left in the first half. The injury occurred while 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was covering him, and McLaurin was seen grabbing his left knee in pain. Team medical staff applied a vacuum splint before assisting him onto the cart, and players from both teams wished him well.

In the same game, the Commanders’ other leading receiver, Stefon Diggs, suffered a hand injury after an illegal hit from safety Malik Mustapha, which was not penalized. Diggs’ right hand struck Mustapha’s helmet, injuring his ring finger, but he returned to the game after receiving treatment.
