Ashburn, VA (SportsNetwork.com) – Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden said quarterback Robert Griffin III does not have a fractured ankle and will avoid the season-ending injured reserve list, for now, while wide receiver DeSean Jackson will be day-to-day with a sprained shoulder.<\/p>\n
Griffin suffered a dislocated left ankle during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against Jacksonville, but further tests on Monday showed the ankle was not broken.<\/p>\n
Gruden said he does not have a timeline for Griffin’s return, but indicated that it could be some time this season.<\/p>\n
“It’s not a fracture and we’ll put a cast on it and see how it goes from there,” said Gruden. “We don’t know how long it will be.”<\/p>\n
Jackson, meanwhile, suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder while trying to haul in a pass from Griffin’s replacement, Kirk Cousins, late in the first quarter. Jackson immediately clutched his left shoulder and left the field under his own power.<\/p>\n
Gruden said Jackson’s status for next Sunday’s game against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, would be determined on how he deals with the pain.<\/p>\n
“He’ll be day-to-day,” added Gruden. “We’ll have a good idea Thursday or Friday how he is.”<\/p>\n
The Redskins flourished offensively under Cousins, rolling to a 41-10 win over the Jaguars.<\/p>\n
“Our game plan is our game plan, and nothing will change, really,” said Gruden about Cousins taking over as the starter in Griffin’s absence.<\/p>\n
Colt McCoy will be the backup for Cousins and Gruden added that the Redskins might still add a quarterback to the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
