Full practice Saturday McLaurin (concussion) practiced fully Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact After suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Cowboys, McLaurin didn't practice Wednesday and then logged back-to-back limited sessions Thursday and Friday. By bumping up to all activity Saturday, he's reached the final stage on his quest through the protocol for head injuries. With two days to receive clearance from an independent neurologist, McLaurin has a decent shot to suit up Tuesday versus the Eagles. Who may be throwing him passes is up in the air, though, with both Taylor Heinicke (illness) and Kyle Allen (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list. If neither player is activated, McLaurin likely will be operating with Garrett Gilbert.

Washington-Eagles moved to Tuesday McLaurin (concussion) and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Impact Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the game is held Tuesday as expected, McLaurin should be in good shape to play after he made notable progress in his recovery from the concussion by practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. Per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, head coach Ron Rivera said Friday that he's very optimistic McLaurin will exit the five-step concussion protocol before Tuesday's game, with the wideout's availability ultimately hinging on him getting clearance from an independent neurologist. Even if McLaurin suits up Tuesday, he may have to work with an unfamiliar quarterback, as the top two options on the depth chart -- starter Taylor Heinicke and top backup Kyle Allen -- tested positive for COVID-19 over the past few days, leaving the availability of both signal-callers in flux for Week 15.

Impact J.D. McKissic (concussion), on the other hand, sounds truly questionable, while McLaurin apparently is on track to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game. It'll be a less-than-ideal setup for receiving production, with Garrett Gilbert plucked off New England's practice squad for a potential Week 15 start after Washington QBs Taylor Heinicke and Garrett Gilbert were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Bumps up to limited practice reps Washington listed McLaurin (concussion) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact While the Washington roster continues to be ravaged by COVID-19-related absences, McLaurin's ability to upgrade from no participation in Wednesday's practice to limited activity Thursday qualifies as some rare good news. McLaurin will still need to receive clearance to take contact and will also need to get the green light from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday in Philadelphia, but the wideout looks to be trending in a positive direction.

Mixes into individual drills McLaurin (concussion) took part in individual drills at Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact One day removed from working with team trainers on a side field, McLaurin appears to have cleared another hurdle in his quest through the protocol for head injuries. However, how much work he was able to handle won't be known until Washington posts its second Week 15 injury report later Thursday.

Doesn't practice Wednesday McLaurin (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact On a positive note, McLaurin worked on the side with team trainers just three days removed from entering the concussion protocol, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. McLaurin will have two more opportunities to mix into drills this week, which he'll have to do in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday at Philadelphia.

Enters concussion protocol Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that McLaurin has entered the concussion protocol, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact McLaurin was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after he sustained a concussion in the third quarter, and he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play against the Eagles on Sunday. If he isn't cleared to play, DeAndre Carter, Adam Humphries and Curtis Samuel should see additional work.

Not returning Sunday McLaurin (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
Impact On a scramble drill in the third quarter, Taylor Heinicke unleashed a deep shot to McLaurin, who went up high in an attempt to corral the pass. McLaurin was upended by Dallas defenders in the process and landed on his back and right shoulder. After making his way to the blue sideline tent and eventually the locker room, he was diagnosed with a concussion. Now subject to the protocol for head injuries, McLaurin's situation will be one to monitor as Washington prepares for another NFC East matchup in Philadelphia next Sunday.

Being monitored for head injury McLaurin is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact McLaurin jumped up high for a deep ball from Taylor Heinicke in the third quarter and got upended in the process, landing hard on his back and right shoulder. While those issues aren't the cause of McLaurin's visit to the blue sideline tent and eventually the locker room, Washington is determining whether a head injury will end his day early. If so, he'll finish Week 14 with no catches on four targets.

Quiet in Sunday's win McLaurin caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.
Impact The Washington passing game didn't have much success, particularly the wideouts -- tight end Logan Thomas (knee) led the team in receiving yards, while running back Antonio Gibson led in catches. The performance was the worst of the season for McLaurin, who will look to rebound in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Leads team in receiving McLaurin caught four of seven targets for 51 yards in Monday night's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.
Impact McLaurin led Washington in receiving yards but trailed Antonio Gibson in catches, with the tailback hauling in all seven of his looks. However, with a gain of 20 yards on his team's first offensive play of the second half, McLaurin still accounted for Washington's longest play of the night and helped set up a touchdown on that drive. He'll strive to keep the big plays coming in Week 13 versus the Raiders.
