NFC East Notes: Cowboys, Redskins, Jay Gruden

Cowboys

Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said he expects G Connor Williams to be a โ€œmainstayโ€ on the teamโ€™s offensive line for โ€œmany years to come.โ€

โ€œI think Connor Williams is gonna be a mainstay in our offensive line for many years to come. โ€ฆ I think weโ€™ll be talking about him just like we do several of the other players on our offensive line,โ€ said Williams, via Jon Machota.

Redskins

  • Redskins WR Josh Doctson has cleared the leagueโ€™s concussion protocol and will play in Week 15. (John Keim)
  • According to John Keim, Redskins RB Chris Thompson was listed as questionable due to illness but โ€œwill be fineโ€ for Sundayโ€™s game.

Jay Gruden

Redskins HC Jay Gruden said the teamโ€™s four-game losing streak is not weighing on him โ€œat allโ€ and that he is focused on finishing the season.

โ€œIt doesnโ€™t weigh on me at all,โ€ Gruden said, via John Keim of ESPN. โ€œMy key works; I come in and work. โ€ฆ I understand it. Youโ€™re fine, youโ€™re fine, youโ€™re fine and then youโ€™re not fine. Iโ€™ll wait to get final word when the season is over.โ€

Gruden added that it is not his responsibility to judge his own performance.

โ€œItโ€™s not my job to judge [my performance],โ€ Gruden said. โ€œItโ€™s my job to coach the guys Iโ€™ve got. Thereโ€™s only one judge and heโ€™s the one that has all the money. Heโ€™s the one that writes the checks. Itโ€™s up to him.โ€œ
