The only thing the Washington Commanders wanted from their three preseason games was for no one to get seriously injured. Late in the first half of Monday night’s preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, Washington saw star wide receiver Terry McLaurin limp off the field with either a foot or ankle injury.
Considering it was late in the second quarter of the second preseason game, some were upset that McLaurin was even in the game.
Fortunately, McLaurin will be just fine as X-rays were negative on McLaurin’s right toe.
Commanders said WR Terry McLaurin has a toe injury and will not return to tonight’s game. X-Rays on McLaurin’s toe were negative.

That’s outstanding news for Washington. The Commanders play their final preseason game on Saturday, which McLaurin wouldn’t have played in anyway. Washington opens the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 10, giving him just under three weeks to be ready for the season opener.
