Perry Riley Jr. (wrist), Frank Kearse (shoulder), Trent Williams (knee) each did not practice today; day-by-day for each.
— #SkinsCamp (@Redskins) August 15, 2015
LB Perry Riley has a swollen wrist. LT Trent Williams dealing with a sore knee. That's why he was out today. Not a veterans' day off

Logan Paulsen:
Gruden: Paulsen is going to have surgery on his right big toe and will be out for the year. Turf toe.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Niles Paul:
Gruden: Niles Paul will have surgery shortly and is out for the year.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Gruden delivers strong tribute to TE N Paul; calls his loss “a major blow”—not just for reps but for attitude, professionalism, intensity

Tight Ends on the roster:
Gruden: "We have three players in-house that are capable right now, and we've got to get them better."
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Gruden says Dixon and Hamm still work in progress in blocking department.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Gruden acknowledges it's very difficult for a tight end these days to be a sufficient blocker and also run routes and be a threat.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Tight Ends not on the roster:
The Redskins will work out some tight ends at some point in the future.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Jordan Reed:
Gruden on Reed: "Just because a guy has injuries early in his career doesn't mean it's going to happen all the time." Hoping to count on him
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Tom Compton: Tight End:
Tom Compton got some work as a blocking tight end. Possibility this season, Gruden says. Did some there last year in goal line.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Gruden: It's a possibility that Tom Compton could play more at tight end, especially blocking. Probably not so much running routes.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Silas Redd:
Gruden confirms RB Silas Redd Jr. is out for the season with a torn ACL/MCL.
— #SkinsCamp (@Redskins) August 15, 2015
Gruden unsure if they'll bring in other RBs with Silas Redd out. Some other positions of need he says.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Morgan Moses:
Gruden says Moses playing with a lot of confidence and moving as a RT is second nature to him now.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Gruden says Moses and Scherff played well together on Thursday. Long way to go, he says, but happy with how they did.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Junior Galette's Debut:
Gruden said Redskins are aiming for Galette to make his first appearance in the Baltimore game.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Galette most likely won't play until Baltimore, Gruden says. He got some one-on-one and limited number of snaps in team drills today.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
QB Play:
Gruden says, after looking at film, he thinks he saw progress from QBs. He says that obvious improvement needed, but encouraged.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Robert Griffin III:
Gruden thought Griffin played fairly well against Browns. Said adrenaline was reason for high jump ball toss; Spencer cut off route early.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Gruden liked the throw Griffin made to Grant, said Griffin made adjustment to Garcon and Garcon will grab it 99 percent of time.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Gruden said Griffin's pocket presence was better Thursday. "Progress is being made with him," he added.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) August 15, 2015
Gruden defends play of RG3 v CLE; notes 50% completion rate; a TD throw that was dropped; an overthrow on route that was short. Positive wds
— Liz Clarke (@lizclarketweet) August 15, 2015
DeSean Jackson/Jamison Crowder Return:
Gruden said DeSean Jackson "is very close" to returning. Could play Week 3. Ditto for Jamison Crowder. #Redskins #RedskinsTalk
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) August 15, 2015
Brandon Scherff at Right Guard:
Gruden on Brandon Scherff at right guard: "He's really taken that role on. ... He's a lot more comfortable in there."
— #SkinsCamp (@Redskins) August 15, 2015
Gruden also said Brandon Scherff WILL be a right guard. Morgan Moses forced coaches' hands.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) August 15, 2015
Gruden on Scherff at RG: "It's not so much that he can't play RT," but adds has to do with Moses' progress at RT.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 15, 2015
Effect of Niles Paul Injury:
Gruden said Niles Paul's injury "kind of knocked the wind out of everybody." Was a factor in getting first team out of game at that point.
— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 15, 2015
Gruden also said Niles Paul's first quarter injury "kinda knocked the wind out of everybody." That was apparent by his teammates' reaction.
