Terry hit new Washington wideout Stefon Diggs on an eight-yard touchdown pass that tied things up at 10-10. And that score occurred with under five minutes left in the second quarter at Northwest Stadium.
McLaurin is out with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. He's long established himself as the go-to wideout for the Commanders, even before the arrival of Diggs and Daniels. McLaurin emerged as a 2022 Pro Bowler before Daniels became the franchise quarterback. He also posted five straight 1,000-yard campaigns before the 2025 season, when he settled for 582 yards in 10 games.
Daniels hit 11-of-21 passing for 96 yards and the touchdown to Diggs. He added 23 rushing yards through two carries. Antonio Williams caught four passes to lead Washington, racking up 24 yards.
Diggs and Treylon Burks caught two passes and racked 28 yards each. The former has seen the most targets at five from Daniels. Washington outscored Philadelphia 10-0 in the second quarter to take the 13-10 lead into halftime. Daniels and the Commanders totaled 185 yards at the half.
McLaurin isn't the only season-ending injury involving both teams. The Eagles played without their own franchise QB Jalen Hurts who's out with blood clots. Tanner McKee took over and hit eight completions out of 14 attempts, tallying 81 yards.
