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.
“I was really concerned,” Gruden said. “Thursday in practice we did some one-on-one drills, offensive line against defensive line, and he looked bad. He looked really bad. He couldn’t redirect and he was sore. And I was talking to the trainers, ‘There’s no freaking way he’s going to be alright.
