Redskins
Redskins HCย Jay Gruden mentioned during aย conference call on Friday that they will evaluate whether to shut lt Trent Williams and TE Jordan Reed down for the season.
“I think if theyโre good enough to go, they need to go,โ Gruden said, via the Washington Post. โBut weโll see how theyโre doing from a longevity standpoint. We obviously donโt want to hurt anybodyโs future and a chance for them to injury themselves long-term. But if itโs just a nagging ankle sprain or something like that where the guys can play through it, then theyโll play through it. Weโve got to dress 46 guys out there, and weโll dress the healthiest guys we can.โ
Williams may need to undergo surgery after the season, and Gruden explained that they’ll see how his timeline for the procedure will project before deciding anything.
โLetโs find out what the timeline is for the surgery โ if he has to have surgery number one, what type of surgery itโs going to be and how long itโs going to put him out,โ Gruden said. โWeโll take all that and figure out what weโre going to do with him. If heโs good enough to finish the season, weโll finish out the season. We need him. Kirk [Cousins] needs him. Weโll go by what the doctors say, how Trent feels and make our decision with Trent.โ
