Jay Gruden Presser/Redskins Injury Report: “This isn’t a preseason game...we’re trying to win a game.”

Jay Gruden gave injury updates following today's practice. The Redskins have ruled WR Maurice Harris(concussion) and OT Ty Nsekhe(knee) out for the season finale against the Eagles. TE Vernon Davis(concussion) is listed as doubtful and will reportedly also miss Sunday's game. Gruden also talked about trying to win vs evaluating the roster, Preston Smith's pending free agency, and more.

Injury updates:

Maurice Harris:

"He was cleared to do a little bit of practice today, a little bit of work. But then he still has follow up things that he has to do and we won’t have time to get it all situated.”

Samaje Perine:

"Yeah he’s got a chance. It depends on who can and who can’t dress for the game. We have a chance to dress four running backs possibly, but we’ll have to wait and see. I’d like to give it every opportunity I can. I’ll try and get him up. It just depends on numbers everywhere else.”

Trying to win vs Eagles:

Outside linebackers:

"I think [Ryan] Kerrigan has had another stellar season, obviously like you mentioned. Preston Smith has been solid. I think his numbers aren’t probably where he wants to be – sack total-wise. [Pernell] McPhee has done some good things when asked. Ryan Anderson has been in and out with the injuries, but he’s done solid with his assignments and all that stuff. Again, his production probably from a sack total, tackle total, probably isn’t where it’s supposed to be. A lot of times these guys are asked in base defense to set edges. They do a lot of the dirty work, forcing them inside for our inside backers and defensive lineman to make some plays. Overall, [Cassanova] McKinzy came in and did some good things until he got hurt. It’s a solid group in my opinion.”

Preston Smith:

"Smith? Which one? Oh, Preston. I think you just take the whole body of work. Number one, you see how he’s improved from the first day he came in here to where he is now as a player. Then, you just go by and figure it out from there. We’ll discuss that after the season. I’d love to have him back for sure, but obviously free agency is what it is. He’s earned the right to go out and shop himself around, but I’m hopeful that we can get him back.”

Deshazor Everett:

”Oh yeah, he’s starting. He’s for sure, he’s starting. He’ll still do a little bit of special teams work because he’s a critical part of that unit – been so all year long at captain. He’s now going to get his opportunity at safety to play a lot. [Jeremy] Reaves will be the number three safety and then Harlan Miller will be the number four. I’m excited to see Deshazor play. I think he’s done well in practice and in situations that he’s been asked to play on defense in some of the jumbo packages, he’s done well. Now he’s going to get an extensive role and a chance to do some good things.”

How Everett can shape next year’s lineup with his play:

”Yeah, a lot, a lot. I think it’s a great opportunity for him to prove he’s more than just a quality special team player. He is a great special team’s player, but he’s provided great depth at the safety position as well. We had Montae [Nicholson] and D.J. [Swearinger] and Ha Ha [Clinton-Dix], he’s the fourth guy just playing in some big jumbo packages. Now, he’s got a chance to show he can play in some sub defenses, some base defenses, play in the hole, play down and be in the box and do some good things. He’s a tough guy. He’s well prepared and I think he’ll be ready.”
