Commanders likely to seek trade for wide receiver after McLaurin injury

The Washington Commanders are expected to explore trade options for a wide receiver following Terry McLaurin's season-ending knee injury during Monday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. McLaurin, who has been a key player for the team, suffered a torn patellar tendon and will be replaced by Treylon Burks and rookie Antonio Williams. As the trade deadline approaches, the team may reach out to the Jacksonville Jaguars regarding Brian Thomas Jr., a former first-round pick who has struggled this season. Thomas has connections with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels but has seen a significant decline in production since his rookie year. The asking price for Thomas may be a point of negotiation given the interest from other teams in need of wide receiver help.
