Interior OL depth:

Gruden says that guard/center combination is tough to find and that played a role in keeping Casey Dunn. Wanted 3 centers. Looks at Ty Nsekhe as swig tackle. Not thinking about him as a backup guard. #redskins pic.twitter.com/YydsbxuEeC

Troy Apke:

Asked about his confidence in playing Troy Apke at safety, Gruden says the team doesn’t want that to happen right away. He’s the 4th safety on the depth chart.
