Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin arrived at training camp Sunday without a new deal and was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury.
“Terry McLaurin has reported and we’re very happy about that,” Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. “He’ll start training camp on PUP for his ankle.”
McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was placed on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday.
He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac.
“On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things,” Quinn said. “While on PUP he’ll be working with the trainers.”
McLaurin was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total after missing the start of training camp.
Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024.
McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.
