Morgan Moses:
"Morgan was a little hot. He was a little heated and wanted to get him calm down a little bit. He took a shot on the sideline and he’s got a couple of bad ankles and he took offense to it. I didn’t think he was going to get much work done that day so we just wanted to get him in here cooled down and get his ankles looked at.”
Injury updates:
Harvey-Clemons, Catalina and Nsekhe will all likely miss practice today injured. Nsekhe is the question mark. Morgan Moses will try to go.

Terrelle Pryor's injury last year:
"I think he probably knows that better than I do, but he only played in what, five games? So, obviously a lot you know so, and then those five games he played, I’m not sure how that injury affected him running. I know that he wasn’t running as fast as he normally does because probably that injury so, I’m sure it had a major effect on him.”
New NFL helmet rule:
“The bang bang type plays” concern Gruden. RB lowering their shoulder for example. Gruden applauds the intent but “at the speed these guys play at” it’s hard to regulate
