Other coaches would say something like "Well I don't want to speculate on the nature of his injury, I haven't gotten to talk to the medical staff yet, but certainly I want to wish him the best and a speedy recovery". But not Gruden.

I don't remember him saying that at all. When the infection struck he and the Redskins asked for privacy on behalf of Alex and he gave no timetable for return.
