Gruden to the podium:

Confirms Guice had a small procedure today on his knee. He doesn’t know details of return yet. They haven’t decided on IR.

Dunbar missed practice with knee soreness. They anticipate him being fine for the weekend.

Smallwood would be a 1-2 down back. A role he had in Philly last year as a backup. If not keeping 4 to keep AP active not sure why they’d do it for Reynolds. With AP last year only 3 active. https://t.co/4keFxCmfdR

The most pass happy teams in week 1 were the Redskins and Bengals, which is pretty weird.

The most run heavy teams were Indianapolis and Minnesota, which is less surprising https://t.co/VYrYsEfyBX

The San Francisco 49ers have 14 players weighing less than 200 pounds, the most in that category. Tennessee has the most players under six-feet tall with 14, while Kansas City and Washington each have 14 players weighing over 300 pounds, the most in the league. pic.twitter.com/Vz6KgpQcQC

After listening to Gruden address the various injuries I'd be surprised if someone doesn't land on IR before Sunday just to create roster space.

In the secondary alone Moreau, Dunbar, Nicholson iffy for Sunday. Plus McCoy. Reed limited work today. Guice knee procedure today.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) September 12, 2019

Corner Quinton Dunbar did not practice because of a sore knee. Cornwr Fabian Moreau was limited with his ankle injury tho he did more than Wed. Gruden called Friday a “big day” to know more about the injuries.

— John Keim (@john_keim) September 12, 2019

On standout rookie corner Jimmy Moreland, Gruden anticipated him working predominantly at nickel covering the slot. Heading into Week 2, Gruden says Moreland may also get work outside the hashes.#WASvsDAL

— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) September 12, 2019

Gruden says the Cowboys defense plays with their “hair on fire.” Says they “hang their hat” on their speed and tenacity.

To counter that he highlighted the weapons within the #Redskins offense, saying Trey Quinn is looking to “make a splash”, as other guys look to also step up.

— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) September 12, 2019

Great Gruden quote on McLaurin:

“If we were smart, we would’ve drafted him in the first round.”

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 12, 2019

Terry McLaurin just has that speed. Rasual Douglas doesn't. Too much space to work with. Douglas acted like he had safety help, or he overestimated his own speed. McLaurin was a steal! pic.twitter.com/5UjobZtyuX

As we await a Week 2 update on Jordan Reed, Redskins expected to sign TE Donald Parham to the practice squad, per source.

Had the 6-foot-8 UDFA on the summer roster until final cuts.

Move comes day after Washington lost TE J.P. Holtz. Claimed off waivers by Bears.

The #Redskins have signed TE Donald Parham Jr. to their practice squad.

Moore didn’t just rely on shifts & motions for his offense. He also called a heavy dose of RPOs, some we’ve seen before, some new, like this one. TE works the flat to occupy flat defender, create space for the WR spotting up.

If you are in a survivor pool, you probably noticed that almost nobody was eliminated in week one.

That's because in week 1, the winning team had a pre-game win probability of 57%. That's the 3rd highest of any week 1 since 2002. https://t.co/NSGAN2rcJm pic.twitter.com/JAfh0HvOFx
