On how he's feeling overall:
"I'm feeling well. Anytime it's good to get back out on the field with the guys and participate. It's a good feeling. I'm ready to get going."
On thinking he might have been injured but returning to practice:
"I mean, anytime you get banged up, it's not fun but I was blessed to be okay and be able to get back in time for training camp and work out with the guys and build towards what we're trying to accomplish. I'm excited about it."
On being honored by his hometown youth football team:
"That's huge. Anytime that the place where I came from recognizes me and my work. It's definitely a blessing. My town played a big part in me getting here. Anytime I can get back and get some inspiration to the kids, let them see my face, it's definitely something I love to do."
On what word he would use to describe the current wide receiver room:
"Hungry. I think that everybody in the room is hungry for more, ready to, ready to come out and build on what we did last year. We got some new pieces in the room, some guys that have been around, but, I think overall we're not satisfied with where we're at last year and we're ready to build on that."
On what's different about being a part of the Commanders:
"I'd say just the, the chemistry on the team and the enthusiasm to come to work. We're all truly having fun out there and it makes getting better a lot easier when you're enjoying what you're doing. You're enjoying who you're doing it with. Being here is a blessing."
On his advice to rookies in the wide receiver room:
"It's big. There's a lot of experience between me, [WR] Deebo [Samuel], [WR Chris] C-Mo[Moore], [WR] K.J. [Osborn], there's guys in the room who play some ball. Anytime we can and we're all looking to share with the younger guys and the young guys are looking to learn and we understand that elevates the whole room. Anything we can share, we do it."
On his minicamp experience:
"Yeah, I mean, got banged up in minicamp. It took a little minute to get back, but working through the off season, preparing to get into training camp. I'm ready to build and keep working. I'm ready to go."
On avoiding injuries in the future:
"I mean, I think I'm always working to avoid injuries. It is a contact sport, sometimes things happen, but I'm always working to callous the body, get my body prepared for anything that can happen during the season. That's all I can do. I've been doing my best at that."
On if he knew Samuel before coming here:
"No. I had never met Deebo before he got here, but hard workers are easy to get along with and Deebo comes in and gets the work. I respect that he respects what I do, and we have a lot of game that we can share between each other and to the younger guys. I enjoy coming to work with him."
On how McLaurin's absence affects the rest of the wide receiver room:
"I think it gives some more people, some more reps. Some guys who may not have gotten those reps time to show them what they can do. I think that if everyone takes advantage of that the room will only be better. Whenever Terry gets here we're ready for him and we're excited about it."
On if he's spoken to McLaurin:
"Yeah, he's been around. I've spoken with him. He's in good spirits."
