Terry McLaurin was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury late in the first quarter of the Washington Commanders' 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The injury occurred on a third-and-9 route when his left leg buckled near the sideline, and he was placed on a cart with an air cast on his leg. McLaurin had caught a 27-yard pass earlier in the drive, leading to a field goal.
He is second on the team in receptions with 15 and leads the team with 230 receiving yards and one touchdown this season. The 31-year-old wide receiver had returned from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss Week 4 against the Colts. Before last season, McLaurin had recorded five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons from 2020 to 2024.
The Commanders also lost defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw to a knee injury in the first half, ruling him out for the remainder of the game.
