ASHBURN, Va. - For a second straight day, Albert Haynesworth was unable to pass the conditioning test given by the Redskins.

The test consists of 300 yards of sprints -- called a "shuttle" -- back and forth 25 yards at a time. It has to be run twice, with only a 3 1/2-minute break in between. The short break demonstrates that the player can recover quickly. Linemen have to run the first shuttle in 70 seconds, the second one in 73 seconds.

Haynesworth finished the test in 71 seconds Friday.

FOX 5's Lindsay Murphy decided to run the test herself to see if she could make the cut.
