Is Terry McLaurin playing today vs. Eagles? Commanders WR has no targets in first half of TNF game

The Washington Commanders took a 7-3 lead into halftime on their Week 11 'Thursday Night Football' game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a rather uneventful first half for both teams, and wide receiver Terry McLaurin was nowhere to be seen on the stat sheet.

McLaurin is normally the top receiver for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. He sees a consistently high target share, leading a wide receiver room of himself, Noah Brown, Luke McCaffrey, and Olamide Zaccheaus.

However, the first half of the game didn't feature McLaurin even getting a target from Daniels. This led many fans and fantasy owners to wonder if he was even playing. 

Here's the latest on McLaurin's night in Philadelphia.

Yes, McLaurin is active and playing for Washington. The Commanders have only been able to sustain the one drive where they scored the rushing touchdown; otherwise, they've had very short drives. Daniels completed eight passes in the first half for only 83 yards, with five of the passes going to running back Austin Ekeler. 

The only wide receiver with a reception in the first half was Dyami Brown, who fluctuates between the team's No. 3 and No. 5 wide receiver.

The Eagles have a solid defense, but you would expect that Daniels would at least try to force it to McLaurin once in the first half. Last week against the Steelers, McLaurin had five receptions on six targets for 133 yards. He's had at least three targets in every game he has played this season and at least six targets in eight of his 10 games.
