Terry McLaurin’s season is over.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Tuesday that his star receiver tore his patellar tendon in the team’s 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
McLaurin, 31, picked up the injury early in Monday’s game. Jostling with the Niners’ Deommodore Lenoir, McLaurin fell to the ground and required a cart with his leg in an air cast to leave the field. Despite the injury occurring in the first quarter, McLaurin had already recorded 66 receiving yards.
A native of Indianapolis, McLaurin was in his eighth season out of Ohio State. His 2026 campaign ends with 15 receptions for 230 yards and a touchdown in five games played.
A two-time Pro Bowler, McLaurin has recorded five seasons of more than 1,000 receiving yards.
The Commanders (1-4-1) are currently on a bye. They return to action on Nov. 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4).
