Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon during a 23–17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Dan Quinn characterized McLaurin as a “vital leader” for the franchise.

In response to the injury, the team is adjusting its offensive rotation. While veteran Stefon Diggs is expected to maintain his workload and handle third-down responsibilities, rookie Antonio Williams is projected to see an increase in targets and snaps, likely operating from the slot. Other players, including Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown, are expected to take over route responsibilities previously held by McLaurin.
