Redskins running back Derrius Guice can’t catch a break. A Monday morning MRI revealed that he has suffered a knee injury that will cost him some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
Guice lost his rookie season to an ACL tear and, at some point on Sunday, he suffered an injury to his other knee. Clearly, Guice was not himself against the Eagles as he amassed just 18 yards on ten carries. The silver lining here is that this is not the same knee as last year, and he will not require surgery. Still, it’s another setback for the LSU product.
In the meantime, the Redskins are expected to turn things over to Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson. Peterson, oddly, was a healthy scratch for the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, but he’ll almost certainly be on the 46-man roster when the Redskins take on the Cowboys this Sunday.
Also Bryce love.
I’m sorry to hear about Guice’s new injury. But how foolish can Jay Gruden be? He’s alienated Adrian Peterson and run Guice injured (Guice was playing until the end of Sunday’s game) as he didn’t have a replacement number one back.
No halftime adjustments, no leadership, little courage. This will be a long Redskins season despite a pretty good roster.
About the only good news was the offensive line giving up just a single sack with Trent Williams taking a vacation.
I think the Eagles DL took a vacation tbh. And Malik’s injury helped their cause.
Time to pick up Peterson in fantasy
If he’s available, I want in your league.
20-7 at half time, and the team came out flat…. nice Jay. Can I put my finger down my throat now? Nice Defense also. Who in hell is running this circus?
