Jay Gruden praises Morgan Moses for playing through left ankle injury

During practice last Thursday, Jay Gruden asked Morgan Moses how his sprained left ankle was feeling.

The Washington Redskins’ burly right tackle, yet to miss a game this season, assured his coach he’d be just fine, despite being limited in practice all week. Still, Gruden felt uncertain about how effective Moses would be against the Philadelphia Eagles.
