It didn’t take long for the injury bug to bite the 2018 NFL season. The first night of the first full week of preseason action claimed one of the league’s most intriguing rookies, and threw an entire backfield into question.
Derrius Guice left Washington’s first preseason game after six carries with what was first described as a sprained MCL. An MRI taken Friday revealed that Guice tore his ACL, knocking him out for the entire 2018 season. This is a huge blow to a Washington offense that was expecting big things from Guice, the No. 59 overall pick in this year’s draft.
