Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin sustained a severe knee injury during a game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
In the match, which ended in a 23-17 defeat for the Commanders, McLaurin was carted off the field after injuring his left knee. Coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Tuesday that the star receiver tore his patellar tendon.
McLaurin will undergo surgery and will not return for the remainder of the season. His absence will be a significant loss for the team as they continue through the NFL season.
The injury underscores the physical demands of the sport and the impact of such injuries on the players and teams involved.
