Terry McLaurin’s contract status has become the Commanders’ biggest camp storyline. On July 27, the team officially reinstated him from the Reserve/Did Not Report list and placed him on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, a technical move that keeps him in the fold while negotiations continue. To make room, Washington released CB Fentrell Cypress, a signal that Terry’s presence, even sidelined, matters more.

Second-year head coach Dan Quinn is embracing the challenge. His two-word response to McLaurin’s arrival? “Really pumped.” It’s clear Quinn sees McLaurin not just as a top-tier receiver, but a cultural anchor in a locker room that’s undergone serious turnover. With rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels taking first-team reps, having a veteran like McLaurin around is invaluable, even if he’s not yet on the practice field.
The Commanders want McLaurin on the field for Week 1, but more importantly, they want him locked in long-term. A new deal hasn’t materialized yet, but his presence at camp shows both sides are still in the fight, and that’s a good sign.
Stay tuned! This story is developing.
