Terry McLaurin News
Friday, August 14, 1:07 PM
Washington Commanders wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs will be on the sideline for Friday night's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins, per The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala. The Commanders are also resting quarterback Jayden Daniels and most of their other key offensive starters. It remains to be seen if McLaurin and Diggs will be allowed to suit up for the team's second preseason game next Saturday against the Detroit Lions. The 30-year-old veteran had the worst season of his career in 2025, catching 38 passes on 60 targets for 582 yards and only three touchdowns in 10 starts. It wasn't all his fault, though, as he missed time with injury and was mostly working with backup QB Marcus Mariota when he was healthy. The former third-rounder in 2019 from Ohio State should benefit from the recent addition of Diggs as a prime bounce-back candidate with WR2 upside if both he and Daniels can stay on the field together. Before last year, the two-time Pro Bowler had five straight 1,000-yard seasons and a career-high 13 touchdown receptions in 2024.

Rachaad White News
Monday, August 24, 11:44 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, according to Zach Selby. White sat out last Wednesday with a hamstring injury, then was able to do some work Thursday before Washington kept him out of the game. Head coach Dan Quinn said at the time that the injury was not expected to be a long-term issue. White spent his first four seasons with Tampa Bay and finished 2025 with 132 carries for 572 yards and four touchdowns, plus 40 catches for 218 yards. His receiving ability remains one of the clearest ways for him to earn work in a Washington backfield that also includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The Commanders have not committed to a single lead back, so getting White back on the field matters as that rotation takes shape. Monday's return is a positive step after a brief hamstring setback with Week 1 approaching.
