Josh Doctson is questionable. He still has another step in the protocol, but he is on the upward trend.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 14, 2018
Another one to watch is Nick Sundberg, who has a lower back issue. They are emergency working out another long snapper this afternoon just in case.

Gruden said long snapper Nick Sundberg has a lower back condition and is getting an MRI this afternoon. They are flying in potential replacements in case he can’t play. Complicates other looming roster moves like the promotion of a tight end from practice squad.

Between the long snapper situation and Reed's absence, which will require adding a player from the PS, Redskins might need to open 1-2 roster spots. This team with injuries, man, https://t.co/UnlEIB2fDr

Redskins allow 5.67 yards after catch per catch to WRS, 31st in the NFL. Some is related to cushion: too much at times; WR has 3-5 yards free room to work after catch at times. EZ $. Some related to missed tackles: 1.84 yards after 1st contact. Also 31st. Good (mid) morning!
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 14, 2018
This is the kind of year it's been for the Redskins' passing game. the WRs have 459 yards after the catch this season; 76 came on the TD by Crowder last week. That's 16.6 percent of the total. Blame whatever you want for this, but this is the stat. @ESPNStatsInfo

#Redskins/Jags should be enjoyable for those who hate scoring. And fun. Over/under (36) is the lowest of any NFL game in six years.

If Gruden was at any risk of in-season firing, it probably would have happened Monday. But would he seriously survive a fifth straight loss, at the hands of Cody Kessler and the 4-9 Jags? Especially if it's ugly (again)?

If you want to criticize Washington for not calling Cobbs up earlier, that’s totally legit. Harris/Floyd have played at expendable levels.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 14, 2018
However, to see choosing the Saints as some indictment of the Skins makes no sense. They’re the Saint.

The #Redskins have a lack of urgency way too often. It's almost like they just think nothing will happen (injury wise) or nobody will pluck a player off practice squad/waivers. Been burned way too many times, IMO. https://t.co/NSOBKVrJ47

Reminder: "Gruden has two years left on his contract, thanks to a two-year extension he received after the 2016 season. The extra years were for a combined $10M in fully g'teed money." (This was premature and unnecessary.)

That's "a collection of blood outside a blood vessel". They can take longer to develop. Sometimes they have to be drained. Sometimes they're a symptom of a larger problem.
