The Commanders were missing a few faces as they opened voluntary organized team activities, the third phase of the offseason program, on Wednesday. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin, cornerback Marshon Lattimore and left tackle Laremy Tunsil were all absent.
McLaurin, a two-time Pro Bowler, has discussed a new contract with the Commanders. He is entering the final season of a three-year, $68 million extension he signed in 2022, but the team did not say whether his absence was related to the deal.
The Commanders’ social team snapped photos of McLaurin during lighter workouts at the team facility earlier this offseason, but he decided not to attend Wednesday’s practice.
“I understand the business side of things,” wide receiver Deebo Samuel said. “When he stopped coming, I understand his side of the story. So, I just try not to get bothered with it and let him deal with it on his own.”
Lattimore joined the Commanders via a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints in October and struggled with injuries throughout the season. The Commanders added Tunsil through a trade with the Houston Texans in April.
