ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth returned to practice Tuesday after missing two days for treatment on his left knee.

Haynesworth received an injection to insert fluid in the knee, a procedure he said has become routine for him in recent years to help fight the wear and tear of training camp. Still, his absence was buzz-worthy news around the Redskins, who this year signed the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle to a contract that includes an NFL-record $41 million in guaranteed money.
Coach Jim Zorn said the knee issue wasn't serious and should not affect Haynesworth's ability to play a full 16-game schedule.
"Haynesworth practiced and did great," Zorn said. "He's just fine, perfect -- no worries."

Everyone in the D.C. area just took a collective sigh of relief. And to all you skins fans,...you do realize that this guy is injury prone right? Lets be honest aside from his rookie season where he played in all 16 games, he has on average missed at least 3 games a season. He's 28 years old and 350lbs...how long do you honestly expect this dude to continue to be productive and keep that famous temper in check now that he has all that guaranteed money...think about it boys and girls!
