Summary

McLaurin Returns

Terry McLaurin returned to voluntary OTAs healthy after signing a three-year, up-to-$96 million contract on Aug. 25.
He began syncing with quarterback Jayden Daniels by constant texting during the Ashburn, VA OTAs.
Daniels, entering his third NFL season, is healthy and assumes a larger leadership role after an injury-limited 2025.
Offensive coordinator David Blough introduced a multiple-formation scheme emphasizing versatile tight ends and motion, expecting the team to be crisp by training camp.

Summary

McCaffrey Impresses

Luke McCaffrey, a third-round pick, caught three passes in OTAs, including a contested grab against Jeremy Reaves that he secured in bounds.
Veteran Treylon Burks made two receptions, including a sideline catch that kept his knee in bounds.
Burks, 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, is eyed as a No. 2 option after limited snaps last season.
The staff expects him to complement A.J. McLaurin and broaden attack if the receiving group stays unchanged.
