S Jeron Johnson tweaked his hamstring. Won't practice today. He can't really afford to fall behind in battle with Duke Ihenacho.

Bigger Offensive Line:
Gruden on size up front on the ofensive line: "We're bigger, and you can feel them." Said line is working on morphing identity.

Gruden says the #Redskins "are still looking for our identity in the run game", but says we're noticeably bigger and tougher on the lines.
