The star rookie corner was knocked from last week's divisional round matchup against the Rams but is well on his way to playing in the conference championship game against the Commanders. The Eagles defense will need all hands on deck if it hopes to slow Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and an offense that totaled four offensive touchdowns in last week's win over the Lions. Barring an unexpected turn of events, it sounds like we can expect Mitchell to be on the field come Sunday. He'll have a chance to log another full practice on Friday before the team releases its final injury report for the week.
Colin Cowherd unveils his Top 10 players in the NFC Championship Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, featuring A.J. Brown, Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin. Do you agree with Colin's rankings?
Terry McLaurin put together an impressive season as a contested-catch artist, but he faces a stiff test in the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
The Commanders wideout never had a signature celebration. This season, during which he has caught 15 touchdown passes, has inspired him to develop a couple.
McLaurin did most of his damage on a 58-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. He caught a screen pass from Jayden Daniels, burst through a mass of occupied blockers, and never looked back, giving Washington a lead they would go on to hold for the remaining 36 minutes and change. McLaurin has at least 60 yards and a touchdown in three straight games. They will need another heroic performance from him next week when Washington takes on the winner of the Eagles/Rams game for the NFC title. Per usual, McLaurin will be a high-ceiling fantasy bet as the Commanders look to continue their magical run.
