Redskins linebacker Adam Hayward said Tuesday he's been officially cleared to go for the start of training camp next week after missing on-field practices this offseason recovering from a torn ACL last August.
When he missed the end of 2014 due to a tibial plateau fracture in his right leg, Hayward said he rushed back into training camp and didn’t allow his leg enough time to get stronger. By the third preseason game against the Lions, the lack of preparation caught up with him and sent Hayward to the Injured Reserve list for the entire season.
