Was Shanahan Wrong Deactivating Haynesworth vs. Indy

[SBXVII]

Here is the direct quote from AH and MS.

Haynesworth participated in the Redskins’ jog-through practice, which was moved to an airport hangar due to heavy rains in the Washington, D.C., area.

Head coach Mike Shanahan said that Haynesworth’s availability for this Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts would be a “game time decision.”

“Anytime you’re away for six days, there’s a loss of conditioning obviously,” Shanahan said. “We’ll want to see where he’s at both physically and mentally. We understand what happened, and we understand the crisis that he was dealing with. Hopefully he can get back in shape.”

That was written Oct. 14th. Even if the team had no plans to use him why tell him so he can go to the media and blab that he's mad he's not going to play? Then the Colts can game plan around that. No, let the player keep guessing cause it keeps the opponants guessing.
