Last season, Washington Redskins rookie running back Derrius Guice tore his ACL during the preseason. It put a halt on what looked like a promising start to the former LSU player.
After a yearlong rehab and the team taking it lightly this past preseason, big things were expected out of him now that he was on the field and healthy.
In Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles Guice totaled 18 yards on 10 carries. Hardly the start to a breakout campaign in his second season but there were glimpses of promise as the Redskins hung tough for the duration of the game.
The Eagles also have one of the toughest run defenses so it is natural that Guice wouldn’t have a huge game in the opener.
Yet, following the game word came out that Guice was experiencing some issues with his left knee—he tore the ACL in his right knee—and now it has been confirmed that he suffered a torn meniscus.
Guice underwent surgery this morning, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews and he will be sidelined indefinitely.
