Gruden said two of Kirk Cousins’s favorite targets have been making progress. Both tight end Jordan Reed and receiver Jamison Crowder missed Sunday’s game, but Gruden said both are improving and he considers them day-to-day.

“We’re hoping some of them come back, but we’re not sure,” Gruden said. “They’re all day to day. … It’ll be great to get at least one back, maybe two; maybe three would be outstanding. I know when they’re all back and healthy, we’re a little bit better offense than we are without them — that’s for sure.”

Gruden said he’s hopeful center Spencer Long, guard Brandon Scherff and tackle Ty Nsekhe can increase their workloads this week. Guard Shaun Lauvao is improving, and tackle Trent Williams is still day-to-day.

“We’ll see how he’s doing with the pain tolerance,” Gruden said of Williams.

Tight end Vernon Davis left Sunday’s game with a hand contusion, but the Redskins are optimistic he’ll be ready to go this week.
----------------------------

Gruden on injuries back on Monday. Hope to hear an update today or tomorrow. Sounds like Long, Scherff and Nsekhe were lmiited but practiced some last week so it would be awesome if those 3 could go on Sunday.

Sunday weather in DC is 50s and cloudy. No rain rest of week and sunny/cloudy Fri, Sat and Sunday.
