Commanders rookie Antonio Williams set for larger role after McLaurin injury

The Washington Commanders lose top wide receiver Terry McLaurin for the season due to a torn patellar tendon. Head coach Dan Quinn indicated that rookie Antonio Williams would receive more targets moving forward. Williams has made an impact with 18 receptions for 205 yards and one touchdown this season. Despite Stefon Diggs also being mentioned for a potential increase in workload, Quinn expects Williams to be the primary beneficiary of McLaurin's absence. The Commanders are poised to assess Williams' performance over the remaining season.
