Robert Griffin III:

Gruden: Griffin's progress continues and "every intent right now is for him to be the starter"

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden said they've moved rg3 along at a good clip. Said progress he's made to put in with 1s. Intent prepare to be starter

Gruden says the intention is for RG3 to start Sunday. But they want to monitor him (and his ankle) over the next day or so.

Rg3 is 100 percent; now it's a matter of seeing him decisive with ball, throwing with confidence. Looks good so far.

"If he's ready physically, we think he should play," Gruden said of RG3. Still wants to make sure "he's up to speed."

Gruden on playing RG3 this week vs. after bye: "There's no cons in playing him now if he's healthy."

— Tom Schad (@Tom_Schad) October 30, 2014

No cons of playing RG3 if he's ready physically, Gruden says. Waiting for the bye has a problem: Long stretch without practices.

Gruden said if all 3 qbs healthy that rg3 gives them the best chance to win.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 30, 2014

Gruden continues to say that the team still has one more day of practice. Adds "now the decision is on me."

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden said RG3 is cleared by the doctors. Now it's about getting him comfortable running the offense again.

— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) October 30, 2014

RG 3 took lions share of 1st team reps as of today. Was a little off on some of his throws; still has time to fine tune Gruden says

— Liz Clarke (@lizclarketweet) October 30, 2014

Gruden says "it'll be my call" but says he'll talk w coaches and Bruce Allen as well.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden stresses importance of getting reps from mental standpoint bc of young quarterback in new system that has missed this much time

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) October 30, 2014

Gruden says no concerns about health of Griffin regarding to what plays he can call for him. He said he wouldn't play him if so.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden says some concepts of the offense have changed and Griffin has to play catch-up in that area.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden said RG3 was "running around like a banshee" last week. "He's more healthy than most of the guys we have playing right now."

Barry Cofield:

Cofield had a little setback today w a foot injury. Practicing after being on short term IR w groin.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Leonard Hankerson:

Hankerson is close but someone has to be cut so coaches working on decision so Hank call up will wait.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) October 30, 2014

Gruden says he's running out of time to make a decision on Hankerson. Coaches are talking through decision. Someone must go to make room.

Colt McCoy:

Gruden: 'I may just change my mind now and start Colt the first play of the game, just to tick everybody off' He is the best! #RedskinsTalk

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayCSN) October 30, 2014

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer:

When asked for his best Zimmer story from their time in Cincinnati, Gruden smiled. "I don't have any ... All his stories are rated R."
