Haynesworth Again Skips Conditioning Test

And on the sixth day, Big Al didn't even try.

Albert Haynesworth did not attempt the Redskins' conditioning test Tuesday, which means he won't practice with the team -- yet again.

Haynesworth tried to take the test Monday morning, but he pulled up after three back-and-forth sprints because he felt some irritation in his left knee.

Haynesworth failed the test on the first day of training camp Thursday after taking an extended bathroom break in the middle of it. He failed again Friday when he didn't post a sufficient time, then didn't take it Saturday or Sunday because of soreness in his left knee.

After Monday's practice, he stayed for what has become a daily ritual -- a solo session with defensive coaches to walk through some of the plays.

Head coach Mike Shanahan did say Monday he may let Haynesworth join practice without passing the test, News4's Dan Hellie reported. That could spare Haynesworth from this daily embarrassment, but you have to wonder if he even cares about what people say about him at this point...
