The expectation was that he’d be fully participating in camp this summer Dwayne Haskins Jersey White , although a hamstring injury created some concern that things might not play out that way.Guice downplayed the significance of that injury earlier this month and his dismissal was affirmed on Thursday when he was a full participant in Washington’s first training camp practice.“I am ready for football, man,” Guice said, via NBCSportsWashington.com. “It’s been a long year for me, literally, the longest year ever. Being back out here with the guys, I couldn’t be out there for OTAs and that killed me, but now it’s training camp and we are getting in full pads soon. I am out here ready to go.
