Washington Redskins Albert Haynesworth was dismissed from practice early by head coach Jim Zorn. Coach Zorn said it was from disciplinary reasons, and that Haynesworth would still be playing come Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys however might not be starting.

Haynesworth was just recently fined $10,000 by the NFL for his on the field altercation with New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. The Redskins are coming off their worse loss of the season Monday night; they were humiliated on their home by the Giants 45-12. The defensive tackle stood up for his team while getting crushed on the field, so you can’t blame him entirely for Monday night’s actions. Haynesworth is in his first year with the Redskins, he signed a 7-year $100 million contract in the off-season and has been production for Washington although, the teams overall performance has been severely lacking. Haynesworth and the Skins will now be looking to overcome last weeks defeat and upset the 9-6 Dallas Cowboys. Haynesworth has had his share of problems on the field but has since turned his image around and started becoming a name that people respected on the defense. When Haynesworth played for Tennessee, he stepped on a Dallas Cowboys face with his cleats, he was fined and suspended by the league and his image was quickly becoming a dirty player. Albert grew up in South Carolina and played college football at the University of Tennessee, he was then selected in the first round (15th overall) by the Tennessee Titans.

He is a 6 foot 6 350 pound tackle, which makes it tough to run through the defense. At the Titans pro-day back in 2002 Haynesworth who then weighed 317 pounds, ran a 4.82 40-yard dash, something many non football players would think possible. After spending 7 seasons with the Tennessee Titans Haynesworth signed one of the biggest contracts in NFL history with the Washington Redskins and although their defense has been playing okay, their offense has been terrible during the 2009 season. The Redskins rank 5th in pass defense while their offense ranks 21st in the league. The Skins are sitting at 4-10, and with the change in general manager, you can bet they will be searching for a winning coach and a winning attitude. The Redskins will finish their season with games against the Dallas Cowboys and then at San Diego.

This will be one year to forget for Washington but one that must be improved as they move forward with their team. Before Monday nights game against the Giants, Washington has shown up in every game although, failing to win 10 of them. – The Sports Weekly for sports articles alike and breaking sports news at your fingertips.
