Haynesworth Day 3: Doesn't Fail Test, Doesn't Take test

Albert Haynesworth has a slightly swollen knee, forcing him to scrap his latest chance to pass the Washington Redskins conditioning test and keeping him exiled from practice for yet another day.

This doesn't bode well for the Redskins, or Haynesworth that he already has a swollen knee and he hasn't even done anything yet.

The two-time All-Pro defensive tackle arrived early at Redskins Park and told the team he had some irritation in his left knee. Doctors recommended that he not take the test and instead ride a stationary bike and get treatment.

“Here’s a setback already,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “His knee’s a little bit swollen. Hopefully it’s not too bad.”

Shanahan is requiring Haynesworth to pass the test, which consists of two timed 300-yard shuttle runs, before taking part in practice. Haynesworth is the only player required to do so because he skipped the team’s offseason conditioning program.

Haynesworth has failed the conditioning test for various reasons on Thursday and Friday.  Guess he needed a day off ater that.
