EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -High-priced defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth says he was healthy enough to play Sunday, but was scratched by the Washington Redskins for their game against the Giants.
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan made Haynesworth one of his inactives because Haynesworth missed practice on Friday and, Shanahan says, “he didn’t have one of his better practices” on Thursday.
But Haynesworth, who denied a report he argued with defensive coordinator Jim Haslett before the game, said after the 31-7 defeat he “ was ready to play.”
Haynesworth signed a seven-year, $100 million free agent contract with Washington after the 2008 season. He struggled last season and has not been much of a factor this year, either.
