Redskins’ Derrius Guice Suffers Knee Injury

Redskins running back Derrius Guice can’t catch a break. A Monday morning MRI revealed that he has suffered a knee injury that will cost him some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets

Guice lost his rookie season to an ACL tear and, at some point on Sunday, he suffered an injury to his other knee. Clearly, Guice was not himself against the Eagles as he amassed just 18 yards on ten carries. The silver lining here is that this is not the same knee as last year, and he will not require surgery. Still, it’s another setback for the LSU product.

In the meantime, the Redskins are expected to turn things over to Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson. Peterson, oddly, was a healthy scratch for the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, but he’ll almost certainly be on the 46-man roster when the Redskins take on the Cowboys this Sunday.
