The Facts: Guice hurt his hamstring and will be questionable for the start of training camp later this month, according to a report.
Diehards Line:
The news comes just two weeks before Washington is set to head down to Richmond to kick off their 2019 season. Guice missed the 2018 season with an ACL injury, and his current hamstring issue happened during his rehabilitation. Last year, Guice looked explosive in training camp before hurting his knee in the preseason. Following surgery in August, he also dealt with an infection that caused a setback in his recovery. But NBCSports.com's JP Finlay notes that even without the hamstring issue, there were whispers around Redskins Park about Guice’s availability to start training camp. It would have been less than a year since his ACL tear. Judging by reports, the hamstring injury doesn’t sound too serious. But coupled with his injury history, it seems like another setback for a second year player with zero NFL snaps. Remember, the Redskins did re-sign veteran RB Adrian Peterson in the offseason. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards last year and proved very durable. Looks like his grip on the starting RB job has tightened.
