I think they're both ready to go. But the impact of Gruden's super cautious approach remains to be seen - you wonder if it contributes to a lack of toughness on the rest of the roster.
I think if they ball out in Week 1, all of this will be forgotten.

Tough players are tough, soft players are soft.
You didn't mention Trent, probably because nobody questions his toughness.
I believe Reed is viewed as tough by the team because of the very painful shoulder injuries he played through. I heard Cooley day they had to cut him out of his pads after one game last year.
Soft players like Doctson are going to be soft no matter how Jay treats him. He can have phantom injuries only because he was a first round draft pick.
His team mates are way more aware of the dynamic than we are. Soft players who are top shelf talent get traded to the Broncos.
