ASHBURN, Va. (AP)
Disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth says he will skip the Washington Redskins mandatory minicamp.
Haynesworth released a statement through Comcast SportsNet late Tuesday stating that he will "continue to work individually to prepare for training <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: inherit; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_1_0>camp</NOBR> and the start of the 2010 season.''
Haynesworth is unhappy that the Redskins are switching to a 3-4 defensive scheme under a new coaching staff. He has not participated in any of the team's voluntary offseason workouts or practices.
The minicamp that starts Wednesday is the only offseason activity the Redskins can require him to attend. He will likely be fined for not showing up.
Haynesworth signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Redskins last year.
