McLaurin took a backseat in target distribution to new additions Stefon Diggs (nine targets) and Antonio Williams (four targets), but remains expected to operate as Washington's top option as target chemistry develops.
Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, ruling him out for at least four weeks.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught two of four targets for 21 yards and added a six-yard rush in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Ian Thomas was noted in early-season league health monitoring updates during Week 1 action. His inclusion came alongside reports on other league wide receiver injuries, such as Jacksonville's Brian Thomas Jr. Further practice participation listings and team health evaluations will clarify Thomas' availability and role moving forward into Week 2 matchups.
