Commanders' Terry McLaurin arrives at camp, put on PUP list
"Terry McLaurin has reported and we're very happy about that," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. "He'll start training camp on PUP for his ankle."
McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was placed on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday.
He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac.
"On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things," Quinn said. "While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers."
McLaurin was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total after missing the start of training camp.
Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024.
McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Bizarre scenes as WNBA game is abruptly stopped after sex toy is thrown on court during game and shown on live broadcast
WNBA fans were left stunned after a sex toy was thrown onto court. And the object was shown on the live game broadcast on Tuesday. 2 2 The incident occurred during the Atlanta Dream's clash against the Golden State Valkyries. The score was tied at 75-75 with less than a minute to play. Players suddenly stopped, and it became clear something had happened. The television broadcast then zoomed into a bright green object on the floor by the side of the court. Fans couldn't believe what just happened and expressed their shock on X. "I couldn't believe my eyes at first," one said. "Ain't no way," another commented. "I can't take this league serious anymore lmao," one more laughed. And one viewer joked the throw was "the best pass made all night." The game was briefly held up while players, coaches and arena staff discussed the issue. A police officer sat court side eventually removed the object with a piece of cloth. Fans were warned by the public address announcer that throwing objects on court would lead to an ejection. Broadcasters were shocked that the game continued with less than a minute left. And they called for the fan who threw the object to be removed from the arena. Golden State put the disruption aside to secure a 77-75 win. They survived a late fourth-quarter collapse to hang on for a tight win. The Atlanta Dream play their home games at the Gateway Center Arena. The facility opened in 2019 at a cost of $45 million. It is located in College Park, Georgia and seats 3,500 fans for basketball games. The College Park Skyhawks in the NBA G-League also play at the arena.

Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz granted wildcard as US Open confirms pairings for controversial mixed doubles event
The US Open has confirmed 14 teams that will feature in its controversial, revamped mixed doubles tournament this year, with a further two wildcard spots to be allocated at a later date. The organisers announced in February that the mixed doubles event would be radically overhauled, moving to a two-day event before the start of the official tournament, with sets played to four games with a tiebreak at 4-4, no-ad scoring, and a 10-point tiebreak instead of a third set. The quicker format, the move to qualifying week, and the huge increase in prize money - up to $1m, an $800,000 increase from the 2024 edition - was designed to attract singles stars to the event. And of the 14 teams confirmed as participants this week, only one team is an established mixed doubles pairing: last year's champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. Recent Wimbledon mixed doubles champions Katerina Siniakova and Sam Verbeek are not on the list, but could still receive a wildcard entry closer to the tournament start. Both were among many doubles specialists - Errani and Vavassori included - who objected to the changed format and emphasis on singles players. 'It's a shame they decided to do it,' Siniakova told BBC Sport during Wimbledon. 'I think it's a marketing step, but they are taking (away the) chance of doubles players.' Verbeek added: 'I'm not going to actively root against it for it not to be a success. The positive I can think of is that there's going to be more people that can see the top single stars earlier in the tournament when they are maybe a bit more accessible to the public. But as a doubles athlete, my heart is bleeding.' The teams include eight which have directly earned a place as a result of their combined singles ranking, while Errani and Vavassori are one of six teams granted wildcards, with two more to follow. Nine grand slam singles champions are on the list of confirmed pairings, including recently-crowned Wimbledon champions Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, who have direct entry into the draw alongside partners Emma Navarro and Casper Ruud, respectively. Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz have been given a wildcard, along with all-American pairings Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Townsend - the women's doubles No 1 - and Ben Shelton. Venus Williams, who recently made her singles comeback in Washington, and Reilly Opelka have also been granted a wildcard, as have Serbia's Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic. British No 1 Jack Draper had entered the draw alongside Zheng Qinwen, but has now been granted direct entry alongside Spain's former world No 2 Paula Badosa after Zheng withdrew following elbow surgery. The small draw and popularity of the event among singles players means it's not just established doubles pairings who will miss out: Alex de Minaur took to social media after the announcement to say, 'Katie [Boulter, his fiancee] and I would like to ask for a WC pretty pretty please'.
