WASHINGTON (AP)players just because theyve fallen out of playoff contention. Coach Jay Gruden said the team and training staff will evaluate injuries on a player-by-player basis. Four players missed Washingtons game at Dallas on Thursday night along with 15 already on injured reserve and several others who were listed as questionable. A 38-14 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night dropped the Redskins to 5-7 and crushed their slim playoff hopes. But that wont change the approach to injuries. I think if theyre good enough to go Adrian Peterson Jersey , they need to go, Gruden said on a conference call Friday. We obviously dont want to hurt anybodys future, if its a chance to injure themselves long term. But if its just a nagging ankle sprain or something like that where they just can play through it, then theyll play through it. Weve got to dress 46 guys out there, and well dress the healthiest guys we can. A couple of exceptions might be left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Jordan Reed, as each has missed time with significant injuries. Gruden said the team wants to get an idea of a timeline for Williams to return after the surgery he requires on his right knee. Williams has said he wants to play the final four games as quarterback Kirk Cousins primary pass protector regardless of the Redskins status. If hes good enough to finish the season, he will finish out the season, Gruden said. We need him, and Kirk needs him. Well go by what the doctors say and how Trent feels and make our decision with Trent. A similar conversation will occur about Reed, who has missed five consecutive games with a strained right hamstring. The Redskins have been juggling offensive linemen for much of the season and will likely do so again when they visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 10. Injuries to center Chase Roullier, guard Brandon Scherff, right tackle Morgan Moses and others all over the roster could benefit from extra time off after three games in 12 days. Gruden hopes Roullier, Moses and defensive linemen Matt Ioannidis and Terrell McClain should benefit from the break. And theyre not the only ones. Get people out of the building for a couple days to refresh, refocus and get ready for the fourth quarter of the season, Gruden said. Hopefully we will get some healthier guys, some refocused guys and finish this season strong. Moses aggravated his ankle injuries against the Cowboys, and Gruden said receiver Maurice Harris is in the NFLs concussion protocol. Washingtons linebacking corps is decimated without Will Compton and Mason Foster and with nagging injuries to Zach Brown and Martrell Spaight, something that has contributed to struggles on special teams as depth players have been pressed into bigger roles. One existing injury that bears watching is rookie defensive lineman Jonathan Allens left foot, which was surgically repaired in October. Allen, a first-round pick, did some light running Monday and is eligible to return to practice next week, but that may now not happen. Hes a guy that we may not rush back, Gruden said. We may just want to get him fully healed before we even think about putting him out on the practice field. ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Head Ball Coach is back, lighting up the scoreboard and selling the Alliance of American Football.And fans at least those in Orlando, Florida, who showed up in the rain for Steve Spurriers debut in the new league Saturday night are eager to buy.The 73-year-old coach returned to the sideline for the first time since abruptly walking away from the college game in 2015, bringing along an entertaining style of offense that didnt disappoint an announced crowd of 20,191 for the AAF opener between the Orlando Apollos and Atlanta Legends.With a 52-man roster featuring 29 players from nine Florida colleges Joe Theismann Jersey , theres a local feel to the Apollos for fans of the hometown team.It begins with Spurrier, who won the Heisman Trophy as a player at the University of Florida and later put together his best body of work as a coach at his alma mater, a mere 113 miles up the road in Gainesville.And, there was just enough razzle-dazzle and imaginative play-calling in the Apollos 40-6 victory over the Legends to remind the faithful, who can buy season tickets for as little as $75, of the good old days.I think the fans had a good time, said Spurrier, who improved to 6-0 in his first game with the six teams he coached. They saw enough good plays, especially after the first quarter.It was a long night for Atlanta, which took the field barely a month after the sudden departure of coach Brad Childress and just days after the team decided ex-NFL quarterback Michael Vick would no longer hold the title of Legends offensive coordinator.Were disappointed, Legends coach Kevin Coyle said.I think Atlantas a pretty good team. Time will tell if they are, Spurrier said. Time will tell if were any good. Its just one game.In the leagues other opener Saturday night, San Antonio topped San Diego 15-6.On Sunday, Memphis is at Birmingham, and Salt Lake at Arizona.Two hours before game-time between Orlando and Atlanta, traffic flowed freely and there were few visible signs that the league was about to make its debut at Spectrum Stadium on the campus of UCF, where the Apollos have chosen to play in a more intimate setting than the larger Citrus Bowl near downtown Orlando.In stark contrast to the thousands who tailgate in a festive atmosphere before UCF games in the fall, only a smattering of fans mingled in a plaza near the 44,000-seat stadium on a cloudy and windy evening.Rain sent some early arrivals scurrying for cover in concession areas beneath the stands and intermittent showers fell most of the night, contributing to some slipping and sliding and occasional sloppy play.The weather even forced Spurrier to don a baseball cap instead of his signature visor.I think the rain deterred the crowd a little bit, the coach said. But 20,000 is pretty good.This isnt the first time Spurrier has been part of a new league. His first head coaching job was a three-year stint in the mid-1980s with the USFLs Tampa Bay Bandits.He led Florida to a national championship in 1996, left the Gators five years later to coach the Washington Redskins for two seasons, then ended a long college career when he walked away from a decade-long stay at South Carolina six games into the 2015 season.He smiled when he was asked about being unbeaten in his first game with six different teams.Even won with the Redskins, he said, laughing.
