"How many of them are actually preventable? That's something we have to look at," Gruden on #Redskins injuries

Gruden thinks Redskins can do a better job with post-game recovery, maybe yoga?

Gruden says Kapri Bibbs was among those that impressed him as injuries piled up. Now team has to make decisions at the running back position after nine were on active roster this year and Keith Marshall is still around, too.

— Stephen Czarda (@SCzardaRedskins) January 2, 2018

“Do you think the starting running back is on the roster right now?”

Gruden: “Well we have about 30 of them.”

Gruden says losing Thompson and Reed killed them on 3rd down. They’re both matchup nightmares.

Kirk Cousins on which #Redskins' injury ended up proving to be most costly? "I thought losing Chris Thompson was tough." Also pointed to offensive tackle spot.

Gruden on Jordan Reed: He’s such a gifted player. Not too many players can do what he does. We have to have him healthy and finish a 16 game schedule, dominate and get back to the Pro Bowl. #Redskins

I asked Jay Gruden pointedly if #Redskins are comfortable with Colt McCoy as QB1 in 2018. Coach said Colt has always done an excellent job

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 2, 2018

#Gruden on Colt McCoy: He’s been in the building and system for a few years. I’m not anointing him or anything but I feel if he was given the opportunity as a starter he would do well. #Redskins #USATODAYSMG

— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) January 2, 2018

Asked to sum up Kirk Cousins' season, Jay Gruden takes a second. "When youre 7-9 it's hard to say, 'wow, this guy was outstanding.'" Kirk "had his flashes"
