Washington Football Team running back Bryce Love has not played in a real football game since December of 2018 when he tore his ACL in his final collegiate season at Stanford.

Nearly 20 months later, Love is healthy once again. In an exclusive interview with NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay, offensive coordinator Scott Turner is excited to see what Love can bring to the table for the Burgundy and Gold.

"He's looking good. He's another guy we're going to throw in the mix and see how he does," Turner told Finlay. "I've been pleased with him."

Twitter posts on Tuesday also pointed to Love looking good, especially running routes. It's unclear what Love's role could be this season and there are a lot of mouths in the backfield right now.

Antonio Gibson played receiver in college, however, he also aligned at running back and carried the ball 33 times last season for Memphis. Washington considers him a "Swiss Army Knife" player, able to align wide and run routes or to carry the ball. At 6-foot, 228 pounds, Gibson has good size. But he's also highly inexperienced at the position.

RB coach Randy Jordan said it'll take time for him to learn protections and to diagnose blitzes, which is obviously a big deal for rookie RBs. He's also sitting in on meetings with the receivers so it sounds like he has a lot on his plate. While it could take time, Gibson is the one who could fill the role they hoped Derrius Guice would after drafting him.

Derrius Guice, after two injury-marred seasons, said Monday via Twitter that he has been cleared to play football for the 2020 season.

Guice missed his entire rookie season after suffering a torn MCL during Washington's 2018 preseason. Last season, he suffered two significant knee injuries that included a torn meniscus (during Washington's season-opener) as well as an MCL sprain that ended his season prematurely. In five games, Guice rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 5.83 yards per carry.

Something to keep in mind though is Gibson is one of John Paulsen's favorite rookie running backs to target Guice's injuries, Gibson's double-digit ADP and the fact that new HC Ron Rivera compared his skill set to Christian McCaffrey’s. He averaged 15.6 yards per touch last year and led all skill players in yards after contact per attempt (8.0). He’s built more like a running back, so it will be interesting to see what sort of role he’s able to carve out in his first season.
