We got news from Washington coach Ron Rivera last week that there were some expectations that second-year RB Bryce Love could return to the field at some point in the near future, and that’s what we’re hearing on Wednesday morning.
According to The Washington Post‘s Nicki Jhabvala, Love is returning to practice today, starting the 21-day period where the team can decide if they want to activate him from the injured reserve or not.
Love, who was drafted in the fourth round in 2019 after a stellar career at Stanford that saw him finish as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy Award, has yet to play a single snap in the NFL after dealing with a nagging knee injury that started in college. There was some hope that he could play a role on this offense during training camp, but his injury persisted, and the team decided to sit him out for an extended period of time and try to get him back to full health.
Now we will get a chance to see if that worked and if the young RB can provide a spark to Washington’s backfield.
