The Washington Commanders placed holdout wide receiver Terry McLaurin on the reserve/did not report list on Wednesday.
McLaurin was not present Tuesday for a required conditioning test ahead of Wednesday's first practice.
Under the collective bargaining agreement, McLaurin faces a daily fine of $50,000 for each day he doesn't report.
McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's JaMarr Chase is tops, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac.
Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024.
'I've been pretty frustrated, I'm not going to lie,' McLaurin said last week. 'Everything that has transpired up to this point has been disappointing and frustrating. I want to continue my career here, I've created my life here, my wife and I have bought out first home here. So this has been somewhere where I've always wanted to be.'
Washington coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday the front office is trying to seal a deal with McLaurin.
'It's part of the business of the NFL,' Quinn said, per The Washington Post. 'I don't judge or get too worked up about it. We're working hard to get it done. We love him. I know they're working really hard to go do that.'
Quinn said he has fewer worries with McLaurin than he would with other receivers since the veteran is on the same page as second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels and knows coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's offense.
'Do I love it as a coach?' Quinn said. 'No. You want every player on the team all on the field all the time. But I'm really comfortable with where he's at.'
He is coming off a career year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.
Also Wednesday, the Commanders placed guard Sam Cosmi on the physically unable to perform list. He suffered an ACL injury in the divisional round win of the NFC playoffs against the Detroit Lions in January and is continuing his rehab.
Quinn said Cosmi could be available by Week 1 when the Commanders host their NFC rival New York Giants on Sept. 7.
Cosmi, 26, was selected by the Commanders in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He started all 17 regular-season games each of the past two seasons and played 100 percent of the offensive snaps.
