Isn’t it about time? After more than a week of attempting to pass the conditioning test for the Washington Redskins, Albert Haynesworth finally passes on Saturday. The defensive tackle was able to successfully complete two shuttle runs of 300 yards within the time period allotted for him by Coach Mike Shanahan. His first initial fail of the conditioning test was on the first day of the Washington Redskins training camp on July 29.

According to the Washington Post, Haynesworth showed up at training camp in order to prepare himself for today’s conditioning test. He passed the initial run right at 66 seconds with the second run at 70 seconds. The time limits for the two runs were 70 for the first run and 73 for the second run. And, in case you are not familiar, players have a little over three minutes (3 ½ to be exact) to rest between the two test runs.

The reason Haynesworth was even required to take the conditioning test to begin with is because he missed the offseason conditioning program. He reportedly did not attend the offseason program due to being unhappy about the new 3-4 defense lineup. The All-Pro of two times signed a contract worth $100 million for seven years last year in 2009. $41 of this was guaranteed.

Haynesworth will now join the Redskins on the field on the 10th day of training camp at Redskins Park for Fan Appreciation Day and start working out with the defense. He has a lot of making up to do because he missed the entire offseason. He is going to have to have a lot of determination and focus on football in order to be fully prepared for the upcoming NFL season and show his team that he can help take them to the top this year.
