Terry McLaurin returned to action on Monday night in the Commanders-Chiefs primetime game after missing the last four games with a quad injury.
Unfortunately, McLaurin left Monday night's contest in the fourth quarter after he seemingly re-aggravated the same injury. This is not the news Washington fans wanted to receive on Monday night, especially as they were dealing with a 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.
McLaurin made his mark in the game, though. In the second quarter, the receiver scored an incredible touchdown as he toe-tapped in the end zone before going out of bounds. The play was so close it was initially called an incompletion, but an expedited review gave McLaurin and the Commanders their first and only score of the game.
