Washington Commanders fans are excited to see the return of veteran players Austin Ekeler, Zach Ertz, and Terry McLaurin.

Micah Parsons showed up to Cowboys camp, but his contract situation is still making waves, while Terry McLaurin is absent in D.C.

The Commanders placed McLaurin on the did not report list on Wednesday morning, which sets the stage for daily fines of $50,000 until the wideout joins the club to prepare for the 2025 season. McLaurin opted not to report because he wants a new contract with the team that would presumably make any short-term losses easier to swallow.

Former Washington coach Jay Gruden says the team must secure a new deal for star WR Terry McLaurin, calling his absence a major concern for the offense.
