Barry Cofield Injury:
Gruden: NT Barry Cofield suffered a high ankle sprain vs. the Texans and "could miss some time."
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
Depending on results of the MRI, plus his nagging groin injury/sports hernia surgery, Cofield may be a candidate for short-term IR.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) September 8, 2014
Chris Baker at NT:
Baker will start at NT for the #Redskins while Cofield is out.

Loss of Jordan Reed yesterday:
Gruden also said TE Jordan Reed suffered a mild hamstring sprain against Houston, and it "could be some time, also," before he returns.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
Reed coming out made things "difficult" on #Redskins. "He was a major part of the game plan, particularly in red zone," Gruden said.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) September 8, 2014
Offensive playcalling:
Gruden liked balance of the offense. Two minute offense called for passing.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden said 14 passes were in two-minute drill. 50-50 run-pass balance other than that.
— Rich Tandler (@Rich_TandlerCSN) September 8, 2014
Jay Gruden on need to run ball more: Thinks balance was okay without late 2-minute drill in 1H. Big losses on boots, reverses hurt too
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: "If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have run the ball more than I did."
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Gruden said "we could've done better in the first half. First half I was poor"
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: "Took some shots and some play actions and I failed miserably" Also says third downs on both units were a problem.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Team performance vs Texans:
Gruden: "They were very correctable mistakes that we made" against the Texans. Said fumbles in red zone, kick/punt blocks can't happen.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: "We had some monuntal mistakes that you can't have in pro football."
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Duke Ihenacho:
Gruden thinks Ihenacho could be ready for more production on defense and special teams next week
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Robert Griffin III:
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: Says Griffin and the offense was "not quite good enough" and took a poor timing sack in the two minute.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Gruden on griffin's play: did some good things but ultimately not enough.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden said Griffin needed better exit angle and Morris changed his hands rather than keeping pocket to accept the handoff.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden said Griffin could have done a better job getting away from Lichtensteiger on the fumble play.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) September 8, 2014
Tight End's will be brought in:
Gruden said the team will work out some tight ends this week, but can go with two tight ends while Jordan Reed is out.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
Gruden says working out players at TE but that he's not sure how much a guy off streets would help.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden said the team will work out a few tight ends this week but will find out the severity of Reed's injury before making a decision.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: "We want to find the severity of Jordan's injury before we go crazy." Also adds that they are fearing a while.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: says the Redskins will work some guys out at TE this week. Tom Compton can help.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Blocked Extra Point/Punt:
Gruden couldn't tell if Forbath PAT was low. Said Golston's block was "a little bit soft"
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden on blocked punt "Roy was just out to lunch on that play"
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden says Helu said he was a little winded and lost focus. Had been in on third down.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Gruden on special teams issues yesterday: "It just can't happen." Said he was encouraged by #Redskins' returns and coverage.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
Brian Orakpo:
Gruden says Orakpo "didn't really flash" but added he didn't have lot of opportunities to rush.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Bacarri Rambo:
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: says that "we were supposed to have somebody trail (Hopkins) underneath." on the TD that Rambo blew.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
On the Hopkins touchdown, there was a busted coverage. But ...Gruden said Rambo has to get Hopkins on the ground.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) September 8, 2014
Bashaud Breeland:
Gruden liked how Breeland did in limited nickel reps.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) September 8, 2014
Andre Roberts:
Gruden praised WR/returner @AndreRoberts. Said the team will work on getting him more involved in the offense when opportunities arise.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 8, 2014
#Redskins HC Jay Gruden: "Overall, Andre (Roberts) is a damn good football player." & on OL says Kory & Chester had pretty good games.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania980) September 8, 2014
Offensive Line:
Gruden said Steiger was good. Williams gave up sack. Lauvao gave up some pressures. Chester played okay. Polumbus gave up sack/pressures.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) September 8, 2014
Gruden methodically went down offensive line's performance. Even Trent Williams gave up a sack/hold. Kory Lichtensteiger got a decent review
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) September 8, 2014
