WASHINGTON (AP) Don’t expect the Redskins to shut down several injured players just because they’ve 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 Washington’s 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 won’t change the approach to injuries.

But if it’s just a nagging ankle sprain or something like that where they just can play through it, then they’ll play through it. We’ve got to dress 46 guys out there, and we’ll dress the healthiest guys we can.”
A couple of exceptions might be left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Jordan Reed Cheap Clive Walford Jersey , 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.
