Jackson Jeffcoat:

Jeffcoat put on IR with back spasms last week. Was given an injury settlement, Gruden said.

— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) November 11, 2015

Jay Gruden says the Jackson Jeffcoat move was more of a roster move because they wanted to bring Houston Bates up.

Terrance Knighton:

Gruden says NT Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton felt pain free today after going through migraine headaches; hopes it's a good sign.

Brian de la Puente

Gruden on bringing in C Brian de le Puente: "We're going to throw it at him; see how much he can do." Said being a "true center" helps.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 11, 2015

Gruden says Brian de la Puente is more of a "true center" than Josh LeRibeus #RedskinsTalk

— CSN Redskins (@CSNRedskins) November 11, 2015

Redskins will throw as much as possible at C Brian de la Puente and see how much he can pick up. Not sure if he'll start yet.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 11, 2015

Gruden: It's "conceivable" that de la Puente will start at C vs Saints #Redskins

Josh LeRibeus:

Gruden said LeRibeus' pass protection is fine, but run blocking and shotgun snaps are a concern. "Doesn't mean we're giving up on Josh."

— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) November 11, 2015

Gruden said on LeRibeus: "We haven't given up on Josh." Team needs to see LeRibeus improve his shotgun snaps, run blocking.

Will Compton:

Gruden says "Will Compton is going to play a lot;" says "right now" he's considered a starter until Keenan Robinson recovers from injury.

Lichtensteiger injury:

Gruden: "I'll be honest: We didn't know" what would happen with Lichtensteiger and his pinched nerve. Could be short or long term.

— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) November 11, 2015

Kory Lichtensteiger on short term IR.. Gruden says wanted to make sure he's healthy "if we make it to the playoffs".

Lack of run production:

Gruden still distressed by the lack of production in the run game. Still working for resolutions.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) November 11, 2015

Gruden still thinking positively about running back situation. No changes. Wants all 3 to take advantage of reps #Redskins

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) November 11, 2015

The running game is going nowhere. Asked if Chris Thompson could take on a featured RB role, Gruden said he likes CT in his current role.

Dashon Goldson:

Gruden said S Dashon Goldson initiated a players-only huddle before practice today to get things on the right track; led to a good practice.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 11, 2015

Changes at safety:

Gruden said "we're looking at changes" at the safety position, getting Jeron Johnson and Kyshoen Jarrett involved more often.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 11, 2015

DeSean Jackson:

Gruden talked deep passes. Said "DeSean is building his leg strength up." That's needed so he & Cousins can work on those plays in practice.

— Breaking Burgundy (@breakburgundy) November 11, 2015

DeSean Jackson:

Cousins on getting timing down with DeSean Jackson: "You just work. You practice." WATCH LIVE: https://t.co/5gKxHFy0hY

Brian de la Puente:

Cousins on building chemistry with a new center, Brian de le Puente: "It's very, very important, and it takes time;" is impressed so far.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 11, 2015

Cousins said it will take time to get on same page with de la Puente but indicated that the new center is a quick learner.

— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) November 11, 2015

Offensive Line:

Cousins on performance of offensive line in pass protection: "It's a thankless job sometimes, and they've done a phenomenal job."

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 11, 2015

Drew Brees:

Cousins on Drew Brees: "You look at what he's done statistically, and it's very, very impressive. ... He's one of the best of all-time."
