When Hendrickson and McLaurin are on the field, their impact is evident. McLaurin's connection with quarterback Jayden Daniels was obvious dating to early training camp in 2024. They read coverages the same and were in sync. When Daniels needed a big play, he looked for McLaurin.

But it is good to know that Terry will be back and working on the grass with his teammates this week. May wisdom and common sense prevail, making it more likely he is physically healthy and ready to go in the home opener against a division rival, who played the Commanders tough in both games in 2024.

Following news that he's coming off the PUP list, one member of the Washington Commanders is elated about the possible return of wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
