Jul 29, 2010

Albert Haynesworth's inability to run a third 300-yard sprint in a satisfactory time in the eyes of coach Mike Shanahan prevented him from practicing with the Redskins Thursday.

Haynesworth had to pass a conditioning test Thursday and he entered the day planning to do two sprints. According to a source, Shanahan believed Haynesworth had too much rest time between his runs and asked for a third.

Haynesworth failed the third sprint. A source said Haynesworth told Shanahan he never ran three such sprints during his best Pro Bowl seasons. Shanahan then told Haynesworth that he must not have ever been in shape, according to the source.

The first practice of Falcons OTAs is now underway and Kirk Cousins is not on the field. Cousins has made clear he wants to play elsewhere in 2025.

Fantasy Impact:

We've been anticipating a potential trade (Steelers?) for a few months now, but it's been pretty quiet on that front since the NFL Draft. If Cousins finds a Week 1 starting role somewhere, he will return to low-end QB2 range for SuperFlex leagues.

Fantasy Impact:

George Kittle, and now, Purdy have received huge extensions this offseason, locking in two ultra-important pieces of their offense. Purdy should continue to be considered a fringe QB1/2 for fantasy purposes.

Henry gets a pay raise after an incredible first season in Baltimore, racking up over 1,900 yards and 16 touchdowns throughout a dominant regular season. In 4for4's initial run of rankings, the vet is currently earmarked as the RB3.
