#Redskins RB Derrius Guice was diagnosed with an MCL sprain following his MRI yesterday, source said. The ACL was intact, which is the best news. He won’t play this week & WAS will be cautious — so he may not play again this season. But all things considered, pretty positive.

It was confirmed on Tuesday morning that Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice suffered a sprained MCL on Sunday when taking a direct hit to the knee and awkwardly falling to the ground in the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers.
Guice, who has dealt with both a torn ACL and torn meniscus already in his two-year career, has been ruled out of this week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to hear him be ruled out for the rest of the season, with just three games left on the schedule.
After the game, Guice took to Twitter and called the hit a cheap shot, and claimed that the defender was aware of his knee issues, and took direct aim regardless. The tweet was later deleted.
For now, this is relatively good news, as the injury could have been much worse for a young and dynamic player who has already battled enough in his short NFL career.
