Not so sure what has you so convinced? But, for the most part when your hurt your hurt not "he was flying" on a treadmill. If you can flat out get it on a treadmill you can get through a few sprints, well at least most that cared about there job/team would. He doesn't fall in that category.

I'm not buying Fat al's BS!

An MRI exam Thursday of Haynesworth's sore knee revealed no structural damage, and the feeling among many at Redskins Park is that the two-time all-pro should have already passed the test. Although perplexed team officials acknowledge Haynesworth probably is experiencing knee irritation, sources say, they do not believe his pain rises to a level that would prevent him from passing the test of two, timed 300-yard shuttle runs.


Moreover, Haynesworth has not even attempted the test since Monday, and his last strong effort occurred July 30. The nine-year veteran's decision to delay retesting is unsettling to the Redskins, especially in light of the encouraging MRI exam and Thursday's performance on a treadmill in which "he was flying," one source said.
