LONDON — Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin is unlikely to play against the Colts on Sunday in London, a source confirmed to The Washington Sun.
McLaurin was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but showed up as limited on Friday due to a hamstring injury. He will be a game-time decision on Sunday morning.
Ben Standig was the first to report McLaurin’s condition.

McLaurin’s absence would be a blow to Washington’s offense. With starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) missing his second game in a row, the absence of the team’s number one receiver will make it slightly more difficult to move the ball and score on the Colts’ league-worst defense.
After combining for just 64 yards and zero touchdowns through the first two weeks, McLaurin got back on track last week against Seattle. He finished the game with 77 yards and an acrobatic 30-yard touchdown catch.
The passing offense will now have to lean more on receivers Stefon Diggs, Trey Burks and Antonio Williams. Tight end Chig Okonkwo will return to the lineup after missing the last two games.
McLaurin missed seven games last season due to an injured quad.
