SUMMARY: Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has one year left on his contract, appeared at training camp signing autographs despite being placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury.

While still on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to an ankle injury, McLaurin’s appearance fired up fans, who lined up for autographs and photos with the Pro Bowl veteran.
