Guice ran for 24 yards on seven carries and scored a 45-yard touchdown on his only reception during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

It's hard to believe that 2018 second-round pick Guice had not tallied an NFL touchdown prior to Week 11, but he got off the schneid in dramatic fashion Sunday, catching a screen pass from Dwayne Haskins, weaving down the right sideline and into the end zone to provide himself and Haskins with a mutual first career TD. Guice garnered just seven carries on the afternoon to Adrian Peterson's nine, but with Washington well outside of the playoff mix, there's motivation for the coaching staff to bestow Guice with a healthy workload moving forward. Week 12 presents an extremely favorable matchup for Guice and the Redskins' backfield as a whole, with Detroit's bottom-10 rush defense awaiting on the schedule.

Interim coach Bill Callahan is "confident" Guice (knee) will get many chances to contribute Sunday against the Jets, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

First and foremost, Guice will work behind Adrian Peterson in his first game action since Week 1, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. Callahan seemed to imply Guice will play the change-of-pace role in the Redskins offense that typically belongs to Chris Thompson, who is expected to remain out Sunday with a turf toe injury. In any case, Guice's touch count is to be determined after Peterson commanded 20 per game in the four contests before the Redskins' Week 10 bye.

The Redskins activated Guice (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team is in the midst of its bye week, but Guice will be ready to roll when the Redskins next take the field Nov. 17 against the Jets. It's unclear if he'll immediately retake the reins from Adrian Peterson as the No. 1 running back, but there's little doubt he'll be in the mix with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins expected to keep the starting job for that contest. The 2018 second-round pick will be looking to avoid the injury bug moving forward, as he's played in just one of a possible 25 games to date in his brief career.

Guice (knee) has been designated to return from injured reserve, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Redskins opened a 21-day window in which to activate Guice to the 53-man roster by allowing him to practice Monday. "He's worked hard to get back, and his workload was a good amount today but not too much because we're still monitoring his conditioning level as he works back into football," interim head coach Bill Callahan said. Guice is in the latter stages of his recovery from surgery to trim a torn meniscus in his right knee, which so far has sidelined him for seven games. He'll miss another one this Sunday at Buffalo, but with a Week 10 bye to follow, the team anticipates him returning to action Nov. 17 against the Jets.

Guice (knee) participated in practice Monday, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming Guice took the field, the Redskins seem to have used one of their two "designated-to-return" labels from injured reserve, a development that will be confirmed upon the release of Monday's transaction report. In any case, the team is aiming for Guice to return to action after the team's Week 10 bye, which coincides with a Nov. 17 matchup against the Jets.

Interim coach Bill Callahan said Monday that Guice (knee) is "getting closer" to a return, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Callahan didn't discuss Guice's situation too in depth, but his comments suggest the running back still is garnering serious consideration for being one of the two players the Redskins bring back from injured reserve this season. Since Guice was placed on IR back on Sept. 13, he won't be eligible to return to action any earlier than the Redskins' Week 11 matchup with the Jets. Adrian Peterson (ankle) will continue to operate as Washington's clear top option on the ground for as long as Guice is sidelined.

Guice (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier this week, Guice had surgery to trim a torn meniscus, ruling him out indefinitely. He's now ineligible to play for the next eight weeks, though he can resume practicing after six weeks. Adrian Peterson will serve as Washington's lead runner, with pass-catching back Chris Thompson also a candidate to get some of the snaps and touches that otherwise would've gone to Guice.

Guice underwent surgery to trim a torn meniscus in his right knee and doesn't have a timetable for a return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After visiting Dr. James Andrews recently, Guice had the procedure to address the knee concern that he picked up Week 1. Considered "out indefinitely," per Rapoport, Guice will be in recovery mode for the foreseeable future while Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson man the Redskins' backfield.

Guice (knee) would be expected to miss six-to-eight weeks in the likely event he decides to have meniscus surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Guice will get a second opinion on the injury Thursday, meeting with Dr. James Andrews in Florida. Coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday that he wasn't ready to rule out the young running back for Week 2 against Dallas, but it now appears Guice is in danger of a much longer absence. Adrian Peterson figures to go from a healthy scratch Week 1 to the lead ball carrier role for Week 2, with the Redskins already confirming the 34-year-old will be active for the game. Pass-catching back Chris Thompson will also be a significant part of the offense, though that was the case even before Guice's latest injury.

Guice has traveled to have his knee examined by noted physician Dr. James Andrews on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's usually bad when a player visits Dr. Andrews. Rapoport reports that if Guice needs surgery on his torn right meniscus, he could miss four-to-six weeks. The Redskins hadn't ruled out Guice from playing this week on Wednesday, so this would appear to be a significant setback. Washington has already declared that Adrian Peterson will be active for Week 2 after being a healthy scratch for the season opener.
