Running back Matt Jones returned to practice on Monday for the first time since he suffered a sprained AC joint to his left shoulder in the Redskins’ second preseason game against the Jets.
Jones worked out with a yellow, non-contact jersey on just to be cautious, something head coach Jay Gruden said Jones “didn’t like,” as he aims to start in Monday night’s season opener with the Steelers.
The plan is to insert Jones into full contact practice starting Wednesday or Thursday and see how he progresses before making a final decision on his game status.
