Commanders Suffer Major Setback with McLaurin and Samuel Out Against Cowboys
The Washington Commanders are facing a daunting challenge ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as they’ve received distressing news regarding their receiving corps. Star wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been ruled out due to injury, a significant blow to the team’s offensive strategy. Adding to their woes, Deebo Samuel will also miss the game, leaving Washington particularly vulnerable in the passing game.
Thin Receivers Corps
With both McLaurin and Samuel sidelined, the Commanders will enter the game with a limited selection of wide receivers. Only four will be active for the contest against the Cowboys.
Leading the charge is Luke McCaffrey, who has already made an impact this season by finding the end zone. The Commanders will also rely on Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore, both of whom have been regulars in the lineup throughout the season.
Their fourth option is Robbie Chosen, formerly known as Robbie Anderson. He was elevated from the practice squad just this past Saturday and is set to make his first appearance of the season.
Looking Ahead
As the Commanders prepare to face a formidable Cowboys team, the absence of their top receivers raises questions about their offensive capabilities. The pressure will be on the remaining wideouts to step up in this crucial game. With the stakes high, Washington will need to dig deep to compete without two of their most dynamic playmakers.
