Jay Gruden: Colin Kaepernick 'Discussed' by Redskins After Colt McCoy Injury

With Washington down to its third-string quarterback, Colin Kaepernick has been mentioned as a potential option for the team down the season's final stretch.

Per Les Carpenter of the Washington Post, head coach Jay Gruden noted the coaching staff did discuss Kaepernick before deciding they will likely look elsewhere for help.

"He's been discussed (internally) but I think we will probably go in a different direction," Gruden said.

Gruden added Washington is hesitant to bring in a quarterback who has no familiarity with the offense or coaching staff.
