Commanders Place McLaurin Did Not Report, Cosmi On PUP List

The Washington Commanders have officially placed wide receiver Terry McLaurin on the reserve/did not report list as he continues to seek a contract extension entering the final year of his deal, resulting in daily fines of $50,000. McLaurin's absence poses both practical and strategic challenges for the team, though head coach Dan Quinn remains confident in the progress McLaurin has made within the offense and the rapport he has with quarterback Jayden Daniels. General Manager Adam Peters emphasized the franchise's commitment to securing a deal, acknowledging the importance of McLaurin to the team's playoff aspirations in 2025. Meanwhile, guard Sam Cosmi was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list while he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in last year's playoffs, though he remains eligible to return during the preseason. The Commanders also signed receiver Tay Martin to the 90-man roster as a camp body amid McLaurin's holdout. The ongoing contract dispute with McLaurin is a significant test for the Commanders' management as training camp progresses without one of their foundational players.
