Jay Gruden: "I want Kelvin Harmon to do what he did every time the ball is in the air. That's why we drafted him." Added "if he cant do that I dont know what he can do." He's right. #Redskins

Injury updates:
Gruden says McLaurin has a hurt tailbone and that’s why he was held out. Holcomb has an AC joint injury (shoulder)

Gruden mentions Cole Holcomb was held out due to a sore AC joint. Says he should be ready to go for Atlanta next Thursday.

Colt McCoy:
Gruden said it’s hard to talk about Colt McCoy challenging for the starting job until he’s fully healthy. Right now, he isn’t.
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 16, 2019
Gruden won't bite on question about Colt McCoy in QB derby. Get him healthy first, then see. That Keenum hasn't run away with the gig despite no Colt in preseason keeps the experienced option in play -- if he gets on the field.
