Albert Haynesworth did not practice today after he failed a conditioning test for the third time since reporting to training camp.
Haynesworth, who sat out the weekend with a knee injury, started the test – two 300-yard shuttle runs in 70 and 73 seconds, respectively – but shut himself down halfway through the first set.
“He was going to try and pass the test,” coach Mike Shanahan said after the morning practice. “He was doing well. He was running really well and had to stop.”
Haynesworth watched the entire practice (two-and-a-half hours) before his usual work with the defensive coaches.
“He’ll go through our walk-throughs and be out there for practice and he’ll get his conditioning and treatment in between,” Shanahan said.
Asked if at some point Haynesworth would be allowed to practice without passing the test, Shanahan said, “possibly,” but it remains unlikely he would move from his stance that Haynesworth must show he’s in football shape.
Shanahan said it’s also possible for Haynesworth to pass the test because he did last Thursday “easily” although not both parts of it.
“You have to be in a certain shape to go through a practice,” Shanahan said. “He’ll pass the test when he gets into football shape.”
Said linebacker London Fletcher: “He’ll get out there and start practicing soon. It’s good he’s out there to be able to hear the calls and hear what we’re saying on the field and the stunts we’re doing and things like that.”
