| Redskins Were Aware DT Albert Haynesworth Would Be Absent | | | Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth did not participate in the opening week of conditioning and film study at the complex but here's the thing: He never intended to and the Redskins were made aware of his plans, people familiar with the situation said. There was a lot of Internet speculation that Haynesworth would skip all of last week's events at the complex because he's supposedly upset about having to play nose tackle more frequently than he would prefer in the Redskins' new base 3-4 defense. Haynesworth showed up to listen to Coach Mike Shanahan address the entire team for the first time on the first day while also participating in other first-day activities but Haynesworth, who is determined to have a big year in 2010, comitted to an individual workout regime with a trainer before the Redskins' plans were set, according to the people with knowledge of the situation.
