Derrius Guice will be back in action following the Washington Redskins' bye week.
The team announced Thursday they've activated the second-year running back off injured reserve.
The 22-year-old tailback has been on the shelf since Week 1 due to a knee injury. Guice suffered the injury after earning 18 yards on 10 carries in the opening-week loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The RB subsequently landed on IR.
Guice is eligible to play Week 11 against the New York Jets.
After missing his entire rookie campaign due to an ACL tear, the Redskins hope to finally have the young running back on the field for more than 22 plays this time.
With interim coach Bill Callahan taking a ground-first, ground-second, and ground-as-much-as-we-can-pound approach to offense, Guice could see a significant role alongside Adrian Peterson as Washington tries to take as much off rookie Dwayne Haskins' plate as possible.
Here are other injuries we're tracking on Thursday:
The Chargers have announced the following inactives for Thursday Night Football: QB Easton Stick, WR Geremy Davis, RB Justin Jackson, S Roderic Teamer, OT Sam Tevi, DT Cortez Broughton and DT Justin Jones.
The Oakland Raiders have announced the following inactives for 'TNF': WR Keelan Doss, WR/RS Dwayne Harris, QB DeShone Kizer, C Erik Magnuson, DE Josh Mauro, CB Keisean Nixon and T Brandon Parker. Starting offensive linemen Trent Brown and Rodney Hudson are active.
