Nsekhe is also questionable. Gruden says they have a lot of options if he can’t go at guard. Bergstrom is the best option, but he’s also questionable.

That’s a big addition given the Ryan injury. I’m curious if they even looked at him this week to rotate at slot corner, given his background there in NO. https://t.co/iCRALqvZQK
Melvin Gordon was full today in practice... he’ll come off the injury report and will play.

I’m surprised this still has to be mentioned but: the CBA limits teams to 14 padded practices per season; 11 in first 11 weeks. With a banged up team the last thing u do is hit more in practice. https://t.co/rtTRfc2HuO

Passing when you have no weapons isn’t exactly a winning formula either. I would put all my playmakers on the field and distribute the ball around as much as I can safely.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 20, 2018
You can involved Peterson, Thompson, Crowder and Marshall in option looks. I would have all that available

I'm not going to go crazy over that disputed non-goal. On the overhead, it looked possible that the very top of the puck may have been touching the very back part of the goal line and certainly wasn't conclusive enough to over-turn the call on the ice. #Caps
