The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker could be practicing with the team, albeit on a limited basis, as early as next week. "We're getting close," Tyer said. "LaVar's getting better." Arrington is expected to continue through this week with his normal routine. That means Wednesday's schedule will include weight training for his legs, plus some field work in the afternoon. The Redskins have scheduled a closed practice on Wednesday evening. If there is no lingering soreness following workouts this week, the next step would be for Arrington to take part in limited practice, including agility drills, after the Redskins' first preseason game at Charlotte, N.C., this Saturday. good news JWsleep 08-10-2005, 01:24 AM Yeah, I saw that. And the post had a bit on it too: Arrington Dashes Toward Return Linebacker LaVar Arrington took an important step toward returning to the field by easily passing a conditioning test, consisting of 14 40-yard dashes. Arrington, who is recovering from a knee injury that required two surgeries, appears likely to participate in limited practice starting next week. "He passed it with flying colors," said Bubba Tyer, director of sports medicine. "We're real proud of him. He did great. We're getting close." . . .

SmootSmack 08-10-2005, 01:29 AM I don't think he'll play this weekend. If I read it right he won't partake in team practices until next week MTK 08-10-2005, 01:40 AM Good to hear he's making progress. No need to rush him though, the last thing we need is him to tweak that knee again. I'm sure the team won't push him, and hopefully he won't push himself again this time to come back too early.

I'm sure the team won't push him, and hopefully he won't push himself again this time to come back too early. or blame us when he does. Good news though i am really happy, pissed me off not to see him during camp or the scrimmage. i just hope he is back to the way he used to be. Time will tell as of now holdman will start at OLB in his place mooby 08-10-2005, 03:16 AM im glad that he's close to returning. i can't wait to see him in gregg william's defense. jacobyfan 08-10-2005, 03:36 AM This seems to be good news. I must admit that I've been skeptical as to whether he would return in time for the season. After all the PR games that were played with his status, it's hard for me to take anything at face value when it comes to injuries. CRT3 08-10-2005, 06:39 AM Saw a interview on Comcast last night. Looked like he was very frustrated. This quote I found really funny "I do not listen to what is written" Yo Laavar I don't think anybody can listen to what is written. Can't wait for his return. Daseal 08-10-2005, 11:45 AM Remember when he was close to returning like 6 weeks after he injured himself? Take his time, try to be back by the opener!
