Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden held a conference call with reporters today to give some updates following last night's loss to the Chiefs. The game featured several Redskins players leaving the game and some playing through injuries.
The biggest loss in the game was #1 CB Josh Norman leaving with a rib injury. It was reported during the game that he would miss several weeks. Gruden said today he is week to week with a rib fracture, but there is a chance he plays the 49ers after the bye.
The Redskins also got a scare when LT Trent Williams went down with a knee injury. Williams only missed 4 plays, but he will be getting an MRI on his kneecap that was aggravated. He was bothered by it in training campas well. This is even more concerning with backup OT Ty Nsekhe out several weeks after surgery, and T.J. Clemmings in as the backup.
Injury Updates:
#Redskins CB Josh Norman (rib) will be week-to-week, RB Rob Kelley (ankle) will be day-to-day and Trent Williams (knee) will have an MRI.

Re Doctson shoulder inj: Gruden didn't suggest it will cost him time. Included him on injury list; didn't hint it will sideline him post-bye
— Liz Clarke (@lizclarketweet) October 3, 2017
Gruden says Josh Doctson is putting himself in position to be on field in more personnel groups but hopes shoulder tweak doesnt set him back

WR targets:
Gruden on WR targets: The defense will dictate where the ball goes

Gruden said lack of Crowder and Thompson involvement in passing game had to do w limited plays. 24 attempts make it hard to spread it around

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 3, 2017

Mack Brown:
Gruden says Mack Brown gives #Redskins run game "a little something different" but plan remains to only dress 3 RBs each week

Best roster he's coached:
Gruden says 2017 #Redskins is "most talented roster" since he's been head coach. "They battle to the bitter end"
