Dwayne Haskins:
Dwayne Haskins will be the backup for now. He will play on Thursday, but they haven’t decided how much. They’ll discuss as a staff over the next few days.

Jordan Reed:
Until Jordan Reed gets cleared by an independent doctor, he won’t return for action, Gruden informed us #HTTR

Jordan Reed is in the concussion protocol, Jay Gruden said. Long-term worry given Reed’s concussion history? “I can’t say one way or the other. Right now it’s about getting him well.”

Fabian Moreau:
On Tuesday, Fabian Moreau will have his ankle checked out. Gruden said they’ll refrain from making decisions about his status for Week 1 until then #HTTR

Mentioned this the other day but Fabian Moreau is in a protective cast. Will get his ankle checked out again Tuesday. Will then give them a better feel for his status moving forward.
