  • Recovered from MCL sprain

    Guice said Friday that he's healed from the MCL sprain that caused him to spend the final three games of the 2019 season on injured reserve, Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Due to a trio of knee injuries -- two of which required surgeries --- Guice has only appeared in five contests since being selected by Washington in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. All of his injuries resulted in trips to injured reserve, so it's certainly encouraging that he's managed kick off the offseason healthy. The 22-year-old will now shift his attention toward rehab in order to rebuild strength in his knee and the muscles surrounding it, with the goal of retaining his speed and…read more

  • Rehabbing at team facility

    Guice (knee) said he is feeling better and plans to stay in Virginia for offseason rehab, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Guice will stay at the team facility to receive treatment for his MCL sprain while the Redskins continue their search for a new general manager and a new head coach. Given that he suffered his injury Dec. 8, the 22-year-old running back should be ready for the start of the offseason program in early April, though his mounting history of knee injuries remains a major concern. Guice is a clear favorite to handle the lead backfield role in Washington if he can just stay healthy, coming off a 2019…read more

  • Won't play again this season

    Guice (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Washington won't press its luck with a player that has already suffered severe knee injuries in both of his first two pro campaigns. Guice thus won't suit up again in 2019 after spraining the MCL in his left knee this past Sunday at Green Bay. In five appearances this season, he averaged 5.8 YPC and scored two touchdowns on his 42 rushes while tallying seven catches (on nine targets) for 79 yards and another TD. Expect Adrian Peterson to lead Washington's backfield the rest of the way, with…read more

  • MCL sprain confirmed

    Guice underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a sprained MCL but no damage to his ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport adds that the organization will be cautious with Guice the rest of the season, and it's already been determined that he will not play in Week 15 against the Eagles. Guice suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay and was unable to return. Adrian Peterson figures to be Washington's primary back Sunday and perhaps the rest of the season depending on Guice's recovery timeline.

  • Ruled out for Week 15

    Interim coach Bill Callahan said Monday that Guice (knee) has been ruled out for the Redskins' Week 15 matchup with the Eagles, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The results of the MRI that Guice underwent earlier Monday aren't yet available, but the Redskins apparently aren't willing to take any chances with the running back after he injured his left knee in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Packers. That knee is the same one in which Guice tore his ACL in the 2018 preseason, wiping out his entire rookie campaign. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network relayed shortly after the contest that the Redskins believe Guice may have suffered an MCL sprain, and if the MRI…read more

  • May have MCL sprain

    Guice may have suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee during Sunday's 20-15 loss at Green Bay, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: For a player with two significant knee injuries on his medical chart in less than two seasons as a pro, Guice is in danger of missing game action yet again. An MRI will reveal the extent of the issue no later than Monday, per John Keim of ESPN.com. In the wake of this development, the Redskins may turn to Adrian Peterson as their primary running back, with Chris Thompson and Wendell Smallwood in reserve roles.

  • MRI on tap

    Guice (knee) will have an MRI on Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Guice exited Sunday's loss to the Packers with a lower-body injury that was first described as being to his leg before more specifics were divulged. The second-year back has a rather infamous history of knee injuries, so all parties will be hoping Guice can avoid missing the balance of the season.

  • Ruled out of Sunday's contest

    Guice (knee) won't return to Sunday's game in Green Bay.

    Analysis: Guice suffered a knee injury at the end of a 23-yard run in the second quarter, thus ending his day with five carries for 42 yards. Due to his rich history of serious knee concerns, his status will be one to watch in the coming days. The Redskins are left with Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Wendell Smallwood at running back.

  • Picks up knee injury

    Guice suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Guice ripped off a 23-yard run in the middle of the second quarter, but upon getting tackled he remained on the turf before limping to the sideline. He's already sustained two serious knee injuries in his pro career, so the current issue is cause for concern. The Redskins will turn to Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and potentially Wendell Smallwood as long as Guice is sidelined.

  • Scores twice in career game

    Guice carried 10 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Panthers. He also caught two of three targets for an additional eight yards in the 29-21 win.

    Analysis: Although Guice came in with just 74 rushing yards in three prior outings this season, he exploded for 12.9 yards per carry while topping the 100-yard mark for the first time. He also scored his first two NFL rushing touchdowns on a pair of one-yard plunges to cap off his excellent performance. Guice should have every opportunity to flourish down the stretch and will look to do so in a favorable matchup next Sunday against the Packers.

  • Bottled up in win

    Guice ran for 32 yards on 10 carries and had a six-yard catch during Sunday's 19-16 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Guice enjoyed an even split of work Sunday with veteran Adrian Peterson, both struggling to gain many yards on 11 total touches apiece. Washingon's rush offense has struggled over the past two weeks, and while Peterson can hang his hat on a handful of big performances from earlier the season, Guice is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry in three games this season. A favorable matchup comes Sunday against a Carolina defense that surrenders 4.9 yards per carry, but opponents figure to crowd the…read more

  • Vying for work in three-man backfield

    Guice will be forced to contend with Adrian Peterson and Wendell Smallwood for snaps and touches out of the backfield Sunday against the Lions with Chris Thompson (toe) inactive for the contest, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The Washington running-back room looked like it could become even more crowded in Week 12 with Chris Thompson carrying a questionable tag into the matchup, but he was ultimately ruled out for a fifth consecutive game. With the pass-catching specialist still out of the mix, the status quo will remain in place for the three available backs, though how the workload will be divvied up between the trio is difficult to predict. Smallwood led the group with a 44 percent offensive snap share in the…read more

  • Backfield suddenly jumbled

    Guice may have to contend with Chris Thompson (toe) for reps Sunday against the Lions, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Sidelined since picking up a turf toe injury Week 6, Thompson practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, opening the door for a return to action Week 12. Meanwhile, Adrian Peterson has been a DNP both days, but interim coach Bill Callahan maintains he'll return Friday and play Sunday, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. If Peterson and Thompson are active, the development could hinder Guice's usage. With just Peterson to contend with this past Sunday versus the Jets, Guice earned…read more

  • Scores in return from injury

    Guice ran for 24 yards on seven carries and scored a 45-yard touchdown on his only reception during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: It's hard to believe that 2018 second-round pick Guice had not tallied an NFL touchdown prior to Week 11, but he got off the schneid in dramatic fashion Sunday, catching a screen pass from Dwayne Haskins, weaving down the right sideline and into the end zone to provide himself and Haskins with a mutual first career TD. Guice garnered just seven carries on the afternoon to Adrian Peterson's nine, but with Washington well outside of the playoff mix, there's motivation for the coaching staff to…read more

  • In line for plenty of work

    Interim coach Bill Callahan is "confident" Guice (knee) will get many chances to contribute Sunday against the Jets, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: First and foremost, Guice will work behind Adrian Peterson in his first game action since Week 1, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. Callahan seemed to imply Guice will play the change-of-pace role in the Redskins offense that typically belongs to Chris Thompson, who is expected to remain out Sunday with a turf toe injury. In any case, Guice's touch count is to be determined after Peterson commanded 20 per game in the four contests before the Redskins' Week 10 bye.

  • Back on 53-man roster

    The Redskins activated Guice (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The team is in the midst of its bye week, but Guice will be ready to roll when the Redskins next take the field Nov. 17 against the Jets. It's unclear if he'll immediately retake the reins from Adrian Peterson as the No. 1 running back, but there's little doubt he'll be in the mix with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins expected to keep the starting job for that contest. The 2018 second-round pick will be looking to avoid the injury bug moving forward, as he's played in just one of a possible 25…read more

  • Officially designated for return

    Guice (knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The Redskins opened a 21-day window in which to activate Guice to the 53-man roster by allowing him to practice Monday. "He's worked hard to get back, and his workload was a good amount today but not too much because we're still monitoring his conditioning level as he works back into football," interim head coach Bill Callahan said. Guice is in the latter stages of his recovery from surgery to trim a torn meniscus in his right knee, which so far has sidelined him for seven games. He'll miss…read more

  • Back at practice Monday

    Guice (knee) participated in practice Monday, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Assuming Guice took the field, the Redskins seem to have used one of their two "designated-to-return" labels from injured reserve, a development that will be confirmed upon the release of Monday's transaction report. In any case, the team is aiming for Guice to return to action after the team's Week 10 bye, which coincides with a Nov. 17 matchup against the Jets.

  • Might be nearing return

    Interim coach Bill Callahan said Monday that Guice (knee) is "getting closer" to a return, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Callahan didn't discuss Guice's situation too in depth, but his comments suggest the running back still is garnering serious consideration for being one of the two players the Redskins bring back from injured reserve this season. Since Guice was placed on IR back on Sept. 13, he won't be eligible to return to action any earlier than the Redskins' Week 11 matchup with the Jets. Adrian Peterson (ankle) will continue to operate as Washington's clear top option on the ground for as long as Guice is…read more

  • Placed on IR

    Guice (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Earlier this week, Guice had surgery to trim a torn meniscus, ruling him out indefinitely. He's now ineligible to play for the next eight weeks, though he can resume practicing after six weeks. Adrian Peterson will serve as Washington's lead runner, with pass-catching back Chris Thompson also a candidate to get some of the snaps and touches that otherwise would've gone to Guice.

  • Has surgery, out indefinitely

    Guice underwent surgery to trim a torn meniscus in his right knee and doesn't have a timetable for a return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After visiting Dr. James Andrews recently, Guice had the procedure to address the knee concern that he picked up Week 1. Considered "out indefinitely," per Rapoport, Guice will be in recovery mode for the foreseeable future while Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson man the Redskins' backfield.

  • Could miss 6-to-8 weeks

    Guice (knee) would be expected to miss six-to-eight weeks in the likely event he decides to have meniscus surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Guice will get a second opinion on the injury Thursday, meeting with Dr. James Andrews in Florida. Coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday that he wasn't ready to rule out the young running back for Week 2 against Dallas, but it now appears Guice is in danger of a much longer absence. Adrian Peterson figures to go from a healthy scratch Week 1 to the lead ball carrier role for Week 2, with the Redskins already confirming the 34-year-old will be active for the game. Pass-catching back Chris Thompson…read more

  • Visiting specialist for knee

    Guice has traveled to have his knee examined by noted physician Dr. James Andrews on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: It's usually bad when a player visits Dr. Andrews. Rapoport reports that if Guice needs surgery on his torn right meniscus, he could miss four-to-six weeks. The Redskins hadn't ruled out Guice from playing this week on Wednesday, so this would appear to be a significant setback. Washington has already declared that Adrian Peterson will be active for Week 2 after being a healthy scratch for the season opener.

    Guice hasn't yet been ruled out by coach Jay Gruden for Week 2's divisional clash with the Cowboys, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The running back is dealing with a meniscus issue in his right knee, and Washington has already declared that Adrian Peterson will be active for Week 2 after being a healthy scratch for Washington's opener, so this could just be an attempt by Gruden to keep the Dallas coaching staff guessing. Nonetheless, the club would seemingly prefer Guice seizing the starting job, so if he proves able to play through the injury and gets a positive prognosis after an examination Wednesday, he could yet be in…read more

  • Not ruled out for Week 2 just yet

    Coach Jay Gruden said Guice (knee) underwent an examination Wednesday and wouldn't yet rule him out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Guice is tending to a meniscus issue in his right knee, which didn't allow him to practice Wednesday. Gruden's comments have kept open the door for no absence at all, but he's also conceded that veteran Adrian Peterson will have a role Week 2 after being inactive in the season opener. Perhaps Wednesday's checkup will help the Redskins determine a more precise prognosis for Guice, whose recovery timetable has ranged from one week to one month so far.

  • Timeline up in air

    Guice (knee) remains without a definitive timeline to return from the meniscus injury he sustained in the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, but a source familiar with the running back's condition believes he could make it back for the Week 3 matchup with the Bears, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The extent of Guice's injury still hasn't been clarified, but it looks like a virtual certainty at this point that he'll at least miss Sunday's showdown with the Cowboys. The 22-year-old's outlook beyond Week 2 remains murky, however, as another source told Copeland that Guice could be sidelined up to a month. Though Guice's injury is to his right knee rather than the left knee that required season-ending surgery in 2018, the Redskins are still likely to proceed cautiously with him. Adrian…read more

    Guice is dealing with a meniscus issue in his knee, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The report adds that there's hope that Guice's injury is just a sprain that would call for a few weeks recovery, but the team is still waiting for added clarity on that front. At this point, Guice hasn't yet been officially ruled out for any games, but that outcome looks pretty certain. With that, Adrian Peterson is in line to re-join Washington's early-down backfield mix in the coming weeks.

  • May try stem cells to avoid surgery

    Guice may try stem cell therapy on his injured knee in an effort to avoid surgery, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Guice appeared to make it through Sunday's 32-27 loss to Philadelphia without any issues, leading his team with 10 carries while playing into the fourth quarter. It turns out he hurt his right knee somewhere along the way, leading to an MRI on Monday and the expectation of an upcoming absence. The only good news is that it isn't the same knee in which Guice suffered a torn ACL last year. The Redskins, at least temporarily, figure to turn back to Adrian Peterson as their lead runner.

  • Expected to miss time

    After undergoing an MRI on Monday morning, it appears likely that Guice will miss time with a knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the issue does not relate to the knee in which he previously tore an ACL, and the "hope is he does not need surgery." In any case, it looks like Guice will miss some time, which presumably paves the way for Adrian Peterson to get back into Washington's early-down backfield mix.

  • Finds sledding tough in debut

    Guice carried 10 times for 18 yards and caught three passes for an additional 20 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: While the Redskins passing offense got off to a quick start, Guice struggled throughout as he finished averaging 1.8 yards per carry. He was utilized in the passing game, which was a positive sign, but his 38 scrimmage yards are nothing to write home about. Better days could eventually be ahead for Guice, although next Sunday's home matchup against the Cowboys will present another difficult test.

  • Trusted for lead role

    Coach Jay Gruden said Guice will lead the Washington rushing attack and is capable of playing in any game situation, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports. "We feel like [Guice] can be a first-, second- and even third-down back if needed," Gruden said. "The offense, carries-wise, will probably go through him, pretty much."

    Analysis: The team liked what it saw from Guice in the third week of the preseason when he proved his return to health from an ACL tear with 11 carries for 44 yards against the Falcons. Gruden believes the 22-year-old has every-down ability, though he won't necessarily get to show it early in the season with Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson also expected to have roles. Of course, it isn't out of the question for Guice to push Peterson out of the picture, or even steal some work from Thompson on passing…read more

    Coach Jay Gruden said Guice will get more carries than Adrian Peterson, Grant Paulsen of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't necessarily mean Guice will be the Week 1 starter, but there's no reason to doubt Gruden about his intention to use the second-year pro as Washington's lead ball carrier. The exact division of snaps and touches will still need to be monitored closely, with Peterson and passing-down back Chris Thompson also expected to be significant pieces in the offense.

  • Busy in preseason debut

    Guice (knee) carried the ball 11 times for 44 yards in Thursday's preseason contest against Atlanta. He also hauled in his lone target for four yards.

    Analysis: Guice was given the chance to gain a rhythm in the contest, getting three carries and a reception on his team's first drive. He was impressive, picking up seven and six yards respectively on his first two carries -- the latter highlighted by a stiff arm that sent Isaiah Oliver to the turf. While only preseason action, it was Guice's first game since tearing his ACL last August. It isn't clear if Guice will receive such heavy usage in Week 1, as he'll likely be splitting snaps with both Adrian…read more

  • Looking good for Thursday

    Coach Jay Gruden is "pretty confident" about Guice (knee) playing in Thursday's preseason game at Atlanta, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: This supports a Monday report that said Guice tentatively was scheduled for an appearance. The young running back was held out for the first two weeks of the preseason and hasn't received clearance for full contact, but it sounds like he'll get the go-ahead within the next few days. A Week 1 appearance wouldn't necessarily entail heavy usage, as Washington also is expected to use Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson in the backfield -- at least to start the season.

  • Could play Thursday

    Guice (knee) "tentatively" is scheduled for an appearance in Thursday's preseason game against Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Guice still has limitations for contact work, but the Redskins are optimistic he'll receive full clearance with the next few days. While it isn't a necessary condition for Week 1 active status, a preseason appearance would be a good sign for the prospects of Guice handling some carries early in the season. He's expected to split work with Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson in one of the NFL's more crowded backfields.

    Analysis: Coach Jay Gruden said he's just "waiting for the green light" from Washington's oft-maligned medical staff. Guice presumably won't be ready for Thursday's preseason game in Atlanta, but Gruden might consider using the young running back in the exhibition finale against Baltimore the following week. Given his lengthy rehab process and continued absence from contact work, Guice shouldn't be viewed as a sure bet to play Week 1, though he at least has a reasonable chance.

  • Will sit out Thursday

    Coach Jay Gruden said Guice (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As Gruden mentioned Tuesday, Guice and his surgically repaired left knee have yet to be cleared for full contact, so the team's decision to hold out the second-year back was expected. Elsewhere in the backfield, Peterson returned to practice Wednesday after dealing with a minor ankle injury, but it would be a surprise if Gruden exposes the veteran to game action Thursday. As a result, Samaje Perine should get another chance to dominate snaps early, with Byron Marshall, Shaun Wilson and Craig…read more

  • Not ready for full contact

    Guice (knee) has not yet been cleared for full contact, NBC Sports Washington reports. "The first thing and foremost is when the trainers and doctors say he can go full contact, he'll go," coach Jay Gruden noted of the running back, who tore his left ACL last August. "Once I get that OK, we will make that decision."

    Analysis: Once Guice, who has been practicing in training camp, is able to work fully, he and veteran back Adrian Peterson (ankle) figure to handle the bulk of Washington's early-down backfield work, with Chris Thompson on hand to serve yet in a change-of-pace/pass-catching role.

  • Not dressing Thursday

    Guice won't suit up for Thursday's preseason contest at Cleveland, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Guice is in the latter stages of his recovery from last August's ACL tear, but coach Jay Gruden won't take any chances with three exhibitions still on the Redskins' slate. With Adrian Peterson tending to an ankle injury, the backfield will be the domain of Chris Thompson, Samaje Perine, Byron Marshall, Shaun Wilson and Craig Reynolds.

  • Availability unclear for Thursday

    Coach Jay Gruden said that he hasn't made a decision on whether Guice will play in Thursday's preseason game at Cleveland, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gruden may be scared off by the hamstring injury Guice suffered between the offseason program and the start of training camp. While Guice eventually received clearance to practice without limitations in the latter, it should be noted that players coming off serious lower-body injuries are more prone to endure other medical hardships. Gruden seems intent on pursuing a cautious approach with the second-year running back, adding that he may "limit him in game action for a couple weeks." Expect…read more

  • Receives full clearance

    Guice (knee/hamstring) received clearance to practice without any limitations, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Guice made good progress in his ACL recovery throughout winter and spring, only to pick up a minor hamstring injury at some point during the summer. Neither his knee nor his hamstring are apparently concerns entering training camp, but it bears mentioning that players are often more susceptible to other medical issues in the first year back from a severe injury. Running backs coach Randy Jordan already said he envisions a 50-50 or 60-40 carry split between Guice and Adrian Peterson, with Chris…read more

  • Injures hamstring

    Guice (knee) injured his hamstring and now appears questionable for training camp, Erin Hawksworth of 106.7 The Fan reports.

    Analysis: Any player in the first season back from a major knee/leg/foot injury faces heightened risk of other lower-body issues. Guice reportedly was on track for the start of training camp before this new development, though he was limited to individual drills and a rehab program throughout OTAs and minicamp. In addition to the health concerns, Guice faces tough competition for playing time in a backfield that also has Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson on hand. Running backs coach Randy Jordan said in…read more

  • On track for training camp

    Guice (knee) is expected to be healthy for training camp, Kyle Melnick of redskins.com reports.

    Analysis: Guice was held out of practice throughout the offseason program, limited to individual drills and a rehab program. Workload is becoming just as much of a concern as health, with running backs coach Randy Jordan recently saying he envisions a 50-50 or 60-40 split between Guice and Adrian Peterson, per Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington. The backfield committee also figures to include passing-down specialist Chris Thompson, who averaged 4.3 carries and 3.3 receptions in 49 games the past…read more

  • Not practicing Tuesday

    Guice (knee) did not participate in the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Guice is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered back in August. He was limited to individual work during OTAs and is still yet to start participating in team drills again. At this point in the offseason, the Redskins will likely remain cautious with the young tailback, as the goal has always been for Guice to be full healthy come the start of training camp in July.

  • Limited at OTAs

    Guice (knee) is not going through 11-on-11 work during Monday's OTAs, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The second-year running back continues to work his way back from an ACL injury in August, and the Redskins are being cautious with him at this stage of the offseason. The plan has been for Guice to do individual drills during OTAs with the hope of him being fully ready for the start of training camp, so things appear to be progressing as expected.

  • Participating in team workouts

    Guice (knee) was on the field Tuesday for the start of Washington's offseason workout program.

    Analysis: It's merely strength and conditioning work without any pads, but his participation supports coach Jay Gruden's stated belief that the running back can be ready for individual drills at OTAs and full practice participation at the start of training camp. An infection in Guice's knee created major complications during the early stages of his rehab from mid-August surgery on a torn ACL, but he seems to have made up for lost time with an aggressive approach throughout the winter. The 2018…read more

  • On track for full training camp

    Coach Jay Gruden anticipates Guice (knee) doing individual drills at OTAs and then being a full participant for the start of training camp, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Guice has been aggressive this offseason with his rehabilitation from a torn ACL, making up for lost time after a post-surgery infection required intravenous antibiotics and three additional procedures. He's posted videos of sprinting and agility workouts on Twitter, though he doesn't quite seem to be cutting at full speed. Washington surely still views the 2018 second-round pick as its lead back of the future, but things could get crowded this upcoming season with passing-down specialist Chris…read more

  • Happy to have Peterson back

    Guice (knee) and Chris Thompson have expressed satisfaction with the Redskins' re-signing of fellow running back Adrian Peterson, Zach Brook of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Peterson initially signed in mid-August after Guice suffered a torn ACL in the preseason opener, ultimately finishing the season with 1,250 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns as a 16-game starter. Meanwhile, the rookie second-round pick suffered a major setback early in his recovery, requiring three additional procedures and a seven-week course of antibiotics to treat a post-surgery infection. Guice has made up for lost time since the end of the season, with a report from mid-February…read more

  • Discusses rehab progress

    Guice (knee) provided a detailed account of his rehab process Monday on the Redskins' official site, noting that he's regained his upper body strength and resumed sprinting but isn't yet ready for full-speed lateral movement.

    Analysis: While he isn't ready to discuss a timeline, Guice did provide some useful details on his recent progress, with an emphasis on rebuilding strength/flexibility in his lower body after a post-surgery infection required additional procedures and a lengthy period of rest. He spent most of his time in Louisiana and Florida during the early phase of recovery, eventually returning to the Redskins' team facility in Virginia toward the end of the regular season. The 21-year-old running back now seems to…read more

  • Making enough progress to sprint

    Guice (knee) posted a video Wednesday on his personal Twitter account featuring himself sprinting on a practice field.

    Analysis: Guice also posted a workout video three weeks ago, providing evidence that his rehab process is on schedule or at least not too far behind. He developed an infection after mid-August surgery to repair an ACL tear, requiring a seven-week course of intravenous antibiotics. The infection may have initially pushed things back, but the 21-year-old has the benefit of both youth and freakish athleticism on his side. Guice's quick rehab progress and commitment to working at the team facility could…read more

    Guice (knee) posted a video Tuesday on his personal Twitter account featuring himself completing a plyometric workout.

    Analysis: The last update on Guice's progress was far less optimistic, as reports suggested he developed an infection in his knee amid complications from mid-August surgery that required three additional follow-up procedures. However, the tide has changed, given this video evidence provided by Guice just five months after tearing his ACL. The LSU product's availability for training camp is still uncertain, but his odds of being ready to go for Week 1 of the upcoming season seem much more favorable than…read more

  • Dealing with major recovery setback

    Guice (knee) developed an infection after his mid-August surgery to repair a torn ACL, leading to three additional procedures and a seven-week course of intravenous antibiotics, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The infection delayed Guice's rehab process and kept him away from the Redskins' facility all season, but the rookie is finally making progress and still hopes to be available for OTAs in late May and early June. Even if his optimistic outlook doesn't come to pass, the rookie running back has some margin for error given that he'll be 13 months removed from the initial injury by the time Week 1 of 2019 rolls around. Guice's progress is sure to be a major story during the offseason, as his Week 1…read more
