Jayden Daniels on Terry McLaurin: 'He's a brother to me. It sucks.'

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels expresses support for Terry McLaurin, who is feared to have suffered a significant knee injury.

By Cole Hartwell

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels responded to the news that wide receiver Terry McLaurin may have suffered a significant knee injury in Monday night’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

What happened

Daniels called McLaurin “a brother to me.” He expressed his concern, saying, “It sucks. You see how hard he works … Praying for Terry.”

Daniels added that McLaurin has supported him through challenging times since he entered the league, and that he loves and appreciates him.

According to ESPN’s John Keim, the Commanders fear McLaurin suffered a “significant” knee injury during the loss.

Context

McLaurin has 230 receiving yards, 15 receptions, and one touchdown through five games this season. He had one catch for 27 yards in Week 6.

Daniels has 759 passing yards and five touchdowns through four games this season. In Week 6, he threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns.

What’s next

The Commanders’ next game is not listed on the schedule source.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels on Terry McLaurin: “He's a brother to me. It sucks. You see how hard he works ... Praying for Terry. He's been there for me through a lot since I came into this league, the adverse times I went through last year and so far this year, and he's been right by my side. I love Terry and appreciate him a lot.” [Quoting @AdamSchefter: "Commanders fear WR Terry McLaurin suffered a “significant” knee injury during their MNF loss. Story via @john_keim:"]

🏈 Fantasy impact

If McLaurin is out for an extended period, it would be a significant blow to Washington’s passing game and to fantasy managers who roster McLaurin. He was already dropped in over 177,000 Sleeper leagues in the last 24 hours, indicating a potential mass exodus if the injury is confirmed.

Jayden Daniels’ fantasy value could take a hit without McLaurin, but managers should monitor updates on McLaurin’s status before making roster decisions.
