ASHBURN — When Sunday arrives, Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden will have decided on his running backs lot. The next two days will have a strong influence on determining who is in that group on game day.
Alfred Morris and fullback Darrel Young are the starting points. Gruden has to figure out who the other two backs will be, choosing from Matt Jones, Chris Thompson and Pierre Thomas.
Jones (hip) has not played the last two games. Thompson played last week, but had a toe problem crop up afterward. Thompson also tore the labrum in his left shoulder versus Dallas on Dec.
