Terry McLaurin, the Washington Commanders' leading receiver, was carted off the field during Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering an apparent left knee injury. The wide receiver fell without contact while running a route and immediately grabbed his left knee. Players from both teams came over as McLaurin was placed in a brace and taken off on a cart.

McLaurin had made one catch for 27 yards before the injury. He entered the game leading Washington with 14 receptions for 203 yards and a touchdown this season. He has been a two-time Pro Bowler and had achieved five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons from 2020 to 2024, despite frequent changes at quarterback for the Commanders.

Before kickoff, McLaurin told ESPN that the team needed to push through their current struggles. 'I've just been telling our guys we're going through the fire right now,' he said. 'You want to get to something, you gotta go through it. You can't go around it.' The Commanders were trailing 13-3 at the time of the injury and are currently 1-5 this season.
