Jay Gruden gave some brief injury updates after today's Redskins practice. Josh Doctson is reportedly in a walking boot after having his heel stepped on/ kicked in practice on Monday. He hasn't practiced the last three days, and it is looking like he will miss Monday's game against the Saints. Gruden said Maurice Harris would get the start if Doctson is out and Michael Floyd would also be active.

Maurice Harris starts if Josh Doctson is out:
Gruden says Mo Harris would probably be the starter if Josh Doctson can’t play Monday night

Gruden seems very honest when he says he doesn’t know if Doctson can go Monday night.

Michael Floyd:
Jay Gruden says if Josh Doctson can’t go, Maurice Harris will likely start at wide receiver. Michael Floyd is looking good and could potentially play Monday, too.

Gruden says Redskins have Michael Floyd learning both WR spots now with the Doctson injury
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 5, 2018
"It’s been good. You know, he hadn’t got a ton of reps but I think more learning in the classroom than anything. He’s trying to study. Originally, we had him coming in here to learn one position, but now with the injury to Josh possibly, we’ve had to have him learn both spots, so a lot of learning for him in the classroom. [Wide receiver coach] Ike [Hilliard] is doing an excellent job getting him ready. He looks good on the hoof out there.”
Evaluating Floyd:
Gruden says he liked Floyd a lot coming out of Notre Dame. Done well since he’s been here. Learned X and Z and is playing some special teams as well.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 5, 2018
”Yeah, I did a lot of work on Floyd coming out. I went to a…I was at Cincinnati and I went to work him out at Notre Dame and really liked him. He’s a big, strong, physical guy. He can run. He’s great in the running game, man. He blocks, very physical, got a great demeanor about him. I’ve been anxious to get him. Once I saw that he was kind of floating around out there, we finally got a chance to work him out and signed him. He hasn’t disappointed yet. “
Floyd on special teams:
"He’s doing a little kickoff return, kickoff coverage.”
Trent Williams:
Gruden says he think Trent Williams will be ready to go.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) October 5, 2018
"No, I think Trent will be ready to go. Like I said last year, he played with a far worse painful injury than the bursa sac thing that he had. But, he is dealing with it and we will see. We will monitor him also. I just have great faith that he’ll stick it out but time will tell.”
