The Washington Commanders were without star wide receiver Terry McLaurin for the start of the team's three-day minicamp. McLaurin will skip the entire mandatory minicamp, while his representation works with the Commanders on a new long-term deal.

The Commanders head coach is finding a way to bridge the gap of conflict: He's "not against'' GM Adam Peters ... while he is absolutely "for'' Terry McLaurin.

Terry McLaurin is not at Washington Commanders mandatory minicamp as the team's top wide receiver looks for a new contract. McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, is only signed through the next NFL season.
