"This will be the third straight absence for McLaurin, which isn't what the Commanders had in mind when they signed the two-time Pro Bowler to a three-year, $87MM extension in late August. The agreement came after a well-publicized standoff between the two sides. The 30-year-old has caught 10 of 17 targets for 149 yards and no touchdowns in three games this season."
"First-year Commander and former 49er Deebo Samuel has served as the team's top target in McLaurin's absence. Luke McCaffrey, who's behind Brown on the depth chart, pulled in a 50-yard reception in a win over the Chargers last week. While McCaffrey only has seven catches this year, he has averaged 20.9 yards per grab and scored a pair of TDs."
"The Lions will face the Chiefs on Sunday without starting left tackle Taylor Decker. The 10th-year man will miss his second game in a row as a result of a shoulder injury. Worsening matters for the Lions, they've also ruled out backup tackle Giovanni Manu. After making his first career start in place of Decker last week, Manu is down with a knee injury. With Decker and Manu unavailable, Dan Skipper is expected to start at left tackle in Kansas City."
Washington will be without Terry McLaurin (quad, groin), marking his third straight missed game after signing a three-year, $87MM extension in August. McLaurin has 10 catches on 17 targets for 149 yards and no touchdowns across three games. Brown has not played since a Week 2 loss to the Packers and has three catches for 36 yards on seven targets in two games this season after totaling 35 catches in 2024. Deebo Samuel has served as the primary target in McLaurin's absence, while Luke McCaffrey has averaged 20.9 yards per catch with a 50-yard reception and two touchdowns. The Lions will be without left tackle Taylor Decker and backup Giovanni Manu, with Dan Skipper expected to start. The Falcons will be without receiver Darnell Mooney because of a hamstring injury.
