Commanders' Terry McLaurin out vs. Seahawks with quad injury - ESPN

ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin reinjured his right quad and won't play in Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. But Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is on pace to return after a one-game absence.

Washington coach Dan Quinn said the plan is for Daniels to be a full participant in practice this week after missing Monday's 28-7 loss to Kansas City because of a sore right hamstring.

It's a pivotal week for Washington (3-5), which has lost three games in a row entering Sunday night's game vs. Seattle (5-2).

Daniels, hurt in the third quarter of a Week 7 loss at Dallas, said he felt good toward the end of last week.

«But we've got to do what's best for me and my future,» he said. «I would've loved to be out there, but that just wasn't a part of the plan. But I did feel good… going into that game, and now if everything goes right, hopefully I'm out there on a Sunday night.»

But McLaurin's situation is yet another blow for the Commanders, who have dealt with key injuries all season — and it will be the fifth game McLaurin has missed. He entered having played in 72 consecutive games and had missed just three in his first six seasons combined.

Daniels, who missed two games earlier this season because of a sprained knee, said he can't fret over McLaurin's absence.

«That's just football and you've got to be able to adapt,» he said. «It's very unfortunate that Terry won't be out there, but [it's the] next man up mentality.»

Washington has played just two games with all three of its top three receivers available. Deebo Samuel has missed one game, while Noah Brown is on injured reserve because of a groin injury and hasn't played since Week 2. Samuel, who leads Washington with 37 catches for 326 yards, is
