Gruden doesn’t expect Redskins to be active at trade deadline

ASHBURN, Virginia — Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he doesn’t expect his team to be active for the NFL’s trade deadline, citing Washington’s injuries as the reason.

At a press conference Monday, Gruden rattled off 13 players, nine of which were starters, who are dealing with injuries.

“We can’t really make a lot of roster moves because of all these injuries,” he said. “You can’t put any of these guys on [injured reserve] and you can’t cut any of these guys. They are all major parts of our football team.
