Summary

  • Terry McLaurin left Monday night's game on a cart after an apparent non-contact left knee injury in the first quarter against San Francisco.
  • Washington lost its top receiver while already down 13-3, and the 49ers stretched the lead to 20-3 by halftime.
  • McLaurin entered the game leading the Commanders with 14 catches, 203 yards and 1 touchdown, making the injury another blow to a 1-5 offense.
  • That unit was already short-handed after Laremy Tunsil's season-ending triceps injury, and Stefon Diggs also absorbed several hard hits before halftime.
  • San Francisco also took an injury hit when Mike Evans went to the locker room before the break after posting 3 catches for 94 yards.
