Jay Gruden spoke to the media after today's practice and gave some injury updates. Trent Williams returned to practice today, and has received encouraging news from the doctors. He has been fit with a new cast, and could possibly play on Sunday. If he does play, Jonathan Cooper will remain at LG, and Ty Nsekhe goes back to being the Redskins swing tackle.
Dustin Hopkins also kicked today and should be ready for the Texans. Samaje Perine has been ruled out with a calf injury he suffered yesterday, and the Redskins will be making a roster move to activate Byron Marshall from IR. Chris Thompson and Jamison Crowder have also been ruled out.

Trent Williams:

Gruden said Trent Williams saw a doctor this week and the doctor feels Williams might be able to play Sunday with a cast. Williams took part in almost all of Friday’s practice.

“Trent’s a unique human. If he can go, he’ll go.”

They’ve tried a couple of casts. Found one that might be able to work.

Trent Williams says if Adrian Peterson had the same injury, “he’d try to play through it too”

Samaje Perine/Byron Marshall:
Samaje Perine hurt his calf and Gruden says redskins will probably have to make roster move to add Byron Marshall
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 16, 2018
Right now Redskins only have Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs ready for Sunday. Almost have to bring up Marshall
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 16, 2018
Byron Marshall says he’s fully healthy and ready to go if called up to active roster. Says he’s been healthy for more than a month.

Dustin Hopkins:
Hruden says Dustin Hopkins was “positive” today but depends if it flares up tomorrow
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) November 16, 2018
Dustin Hopkins said “I’m gonna give it a go...it was pain free.” Hopkins has a groin injury.

Cooper will stay at LG if Williams can go, Nsekhe back to the top tackle backup. #redskins

Morgan Moses:
Gruden says Moses is in a lot better place than he was last week. He’s feeling a lot better. Knee is much less sore.

Chris Thompson:
Gruden said Thompson is feeling better. First ribs injury is healed. Second is getting better. That allowed him to run today, but still depends on how he can handle the pin. Still unlikely to play this week. #redskins
