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.

Ahead of the Commanders' first session, the team's head coach, Dan Quinn, addressed the media and faced immediate questions surrounding the situation with McLaurin now that it's revealed he's a holdout for the time being.

The thing about mandatory minicamp is that, well, it's mandatory. If a player doesn't show up, not only are they subject to fines of over $100,000 in total, but it also sends shockwaves across the NFL and signals that the two parties involved (the player and the team) are at serious odds.
