Commanders' Terry McLaurin arrives at camp, put on PUP list - ESPN

ASHBURN, Va. — After holding out the first four days, Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin arrived at training camp Sunday without a new deal and was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury.

Coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin will work off to the side with trainers, and it's uncertain if the veteran will participate in practice once his ankle has recovered. He is seeking a contract extension with one year left on his current deal.

«On the business side, [GM Adam Peters] and the guys are still working hard with Terry and his reps,» Quinn said. «While on PUP, it's just like we do with other guys — work with the trainers to get back as soon as he can.»

McLauren was fined $50,000 per day — $200,000 in total — for missing the start of training camp.

The two sides remain apart on a contract and will continue discussions aimed at a new deal.

Quinn said he met Saturday night with McLaurin, who was dealing with an injury to the same ankle at the end of last season.

«It was great,» Quinn said. «I'm really pumped that he's here.»

The Commanders opened training camp on July 23. Sunday also happened to be the first day fans could attend practices.

McLaurin said earlier this month that he would not step on field without «progression» toward a new contract. His reporting does not necessarily mean there has been progress considering he's not expected to participate.

«It's the nature of our business,» Peters said on the first day of camp. «You'd like to get these things done quicker, but it doesn't always happen that way.… You're dealing with a really good player and really good person, and you never lose sight of that and make sure every conversation you have is very straightforward and in good faith and
