Jay Gruden “very concerned” about Junior Galette after practice injury

Before he was released by the Saints, linebacker Junior Galette’s availability for the 2015 season was thought to be at risk because of a pectoral injury.

Galette avoided surgery for that injury and has been practicing with the Redskins without any sign that it’s bothering him since landing in Washington in late July. Wednesday brought a new injury concern for the pass rusher, however.

After practice, coach Jay Gruden said, via Albert Breer of NFL Media, that he’s “very concerned” about an injury that Galette suffered near the end of the session. Gruden said Galette would have his ankle evaluated.
