Brian Orakpo's ankle injury:
Gruden on OLB Brian Orakpo's status: Will be listed as questionable (ankle) on injury report, "Hopefully he'll be ready (for Texans game)."

Orakpo was able to do some stuff today, Gruden said. Questionable for Sunday.

Tracy Porter and Akeem Jordan:
Neither CB Tracy Porter (hamstring) nor LB Akeem Jordan (knee) practiced again today. Both are questionable for Sunday, Gruden said.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 5, 2014
Porter's tests on his hamstring did not reveal additional damage. He's not looking good for Sunday, obviously. Has not practiced this week.

Gruden said the #Redskins will start B. Rambo with R. Clark at safety Sunday vs. the Texans; commended D. Ihenacho for picking things up.

Robert Griffin III:
Gruden continues to stress importance of trust as key to griffin's success in passing game. Must trust receivers, coach says.

Red Zone Offense:
Gruden on red zone approach: "The (throwng) areas are very, very tight down there. But you've also got to be able to run the ball."

Team Captains:
Gruden said the captains have been voted on but ballots haven't been counted yet. They'll also have a week-to-week game captain.

Head Coaching experience:
Gruden: "If you want to coach situational football, go through the Arena League." Said fast-paced play there helps him game manage now.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 5, 2014
Gruden says he will handle the mechanics of being head coach. Feels his time in Arena League really helped. #Redskins

Gruden: "It's a total team effort out there with the coaches." Said he leans on coordinators/position coaches heavily during games.
