The Washington Commanders have one of the most exciting offenses in the sport. With a strong staff and explosive playmakers around the unit, that should come as no shocker. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin is a pivotal piece to their success on that side of the football.
A recent update regarding McLaurin's attendance at practice could scare some fans, but they probably have nothing to worry about.

It's also possible that McLaurin had a family emergency or a different reason for missing practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if the NFL world will truly find out why he wasn't there.
Commanders general manager Adam Peters has mentioned a looming new deal for McLaurin and seems confident that the two sides can work something out in order for him to stay in Washington.
For the Commanders, they'd be smart to get out ahead of this situation and lock him in for years to come this summer. That feels like a solid possibility, too.
