Terry McLaurin injury update: Left leg air cast after Week 6 injury

Terry McLaurin was carted off with an air cast on his left leg Monday against the 49ers.

By Cole Hartwell

Terry McLaurin was carted off the field Monday after suffering a leg injury during the Washington Commanders’ Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers. McLaurin was wearing a large air cast on his left leg, according to Nicki Jhabvala.

Mike Garafolo described the injury as “a significant injury” on X. Underdog NFL reported that McLaurin was down on the field with trainers Monday.

Context

McLaurin has 42.3 PPR points on the season through Week 5, with 26 targets, 14 receptions, 203 receiving yards and one touchdown in four games. He had been cleared to play in Week 6 after dealing with a hamstring injury that limited him in practice, according to RotoBaller.

Depth chart

Stefon Diggs is next on the depth chart at SWR2. He entered Week 6 questionable with a hamstring injury. Diggs has 53.0 PPR points in four games this season, with 31 targets, 18 receptions, 170 yards and three touchdowns. Antonio Williams is LWR3 with 36.5 PPR points in five games.

What’s next

The Commanders play the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night in Week 6. The game is currently in progress.

So much positive energy and promise for Terry McLaurin coming into this season. Now seems it’ll be cut short by a significant injury. Hate to see that for one of the league’s really good guys. [Quoting @NickiJhabvala: "Terry McLaurin wearing a large air cast on his left leg as he hobbles onto the cart."]

🏈 Fantasy impact

McLaurin’s injury appears serious, and managers should prepare for him to miss time. With McLaurin out, Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams become the top wide receivers for Washington. Diggs is questionable for this game with a hamstring injury, but if both starters are out, Williams would see the biggest bump in targets. Monitor the post-game news for the severity of McLaurin’s injury before making any drops, but he is unlikely to be startable next week.
