The moment everybody has been waiting for, Terry McClure back on the practice field,

catching passes from Jaden Daniels, the star receiver fired up to be back with his teammates.

Let's have a podcast.

What up, everybody? It is Beltway Football and Monumental Sports Network. I'm J.P. Finley. Mitch Tishler. How do you do?

I do fantastic. Terry McClorns, back out on the practice field. The weather's perfect here in Ashburn. We don't get many of these. We're brought to you by MGM National Harbor. We love it over there. You will too. Go check them out. Play the slots. Get to tater tots. Chicken nuggets. Blackjack, whatever you're into. They got it all. Pizza. But out here, now they have all of the pieces. Terry McLaurin is back. You can tell how excited. You know, the first practice after roster cuts is always kind of a weird one. It's always a little subdued because, you know, guys that they practice with for months are now gone. It's just a weird feeling, especially for guys that were on the bubble, whatever. But the Terry McLaren thing just overpowered everything. It was clearly the biggest story of the summer. Now it is the biggest answer of the summer. For Terry, AP, DQ, these guys are just ready to get rolling. You can tell all these parties, I think there's a sense of happiness and of relief, and just they don't have to talk about it anymore. Everybody kind of gets to turn the page, focus on the football. Briefly, what we saw from Terry out there in his first full practice, he didn't take that many reps. I do think they're ramping him up to football sheet. Yeah, I mean, listen, we're back in regular season mode here at practice, so we get kind of the first 20 minutes of practice. We got like a quasi. We got a little more than we will next week. But it gets locked down. We don't get to watch the entire practice. Terry did a bunch of the individual drills when they went to receivers and QBs throwing. Terry only took one rep with Jaden.

I think you could just see the excitement from Terry being out there. You know, I think about like our first days when we were in high school or young football, pee-wee football, how excited you were when you first got out on the video? I think even more than that,

there's the excitement to be out there, but I think for Terry, the kind of competitor he is,

it must have been so hard not to be out there. Yeah, and listen, I think that you can wipe away

a lot of the issues that we saw in training camp with how the passing offense was. We'll get a chance to see it a little bit more here over the next week or so. But this is the team. We're not going to get to see anything. We'll see it on Sunday, September 7th. But I think we're going to finally, the team is finally going to get to see the offense as they envisioned it. You get to see Debo and Terry working together.

I loved hearing Terry talk about Jill and Lane and the improvements that he's made.

Just listen to Terry talk.

It gets me excited for football again.

Did you get what you wanted in this deal?

I did.

You know, it took, it was a long process.

And, you know, there's no playbook or script on how to handle this situation.

And so, you know, you start out one way and then you hope that it ends the way it's ended.

And so I'm thankful for this process to just be able to be back on the field and just the conversations that, you know, Buddy and AP had and myself in AP and me and DQ. So it's definitely been a process, but I'm really happy to be back out here with my teammates and just very thankful to be a part of this organization and a part of this fan base

that's supported me through all of this so um it's exciting with only a short time before the season

over kind of where are you at physically yeah and any concerns about just making sure you're ready

for the weekend yeah i, I feel really good.

You know, the trainers have put a great plan for me even since I've been out.
