Sports Thread #1 For 8/5/10: The Runthrough
Even as the Washington Redskins ordered an MRI exam on Albert Haynesworth's sore left knee, coach Mike Shanahan gave yet another reason why he is adamant about having the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle pass the team's conditioning test.
Haynesworth, according to the coach, missed way too many practices last season.
"I've got all the stats in there, how many games he played where he didn't practice throughout the whole week," Shanahan said. "If you don't practice, you're not going to play well. ... My job is to make sure he can play the best once we start our season, and that's to get him in football shape. We'll make sure when he is ready to go, he can go full speed."
