LANDOVER, Md. -- Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson, carrying the frustration of an 0-5 start, tried to choke back tears as he discussed coach Jay Gruden's future. Thompson lost the battle; tears eventually rolled down his cheeks and he paused several times while finishing an answer. Gruden's job security remains tenuous after a 33-7 loss to the New England Patriots. New reports about his potential firing surface every week. It's become a topic of conversation in the locker room, during the week and especially after games.
"It's frustrating, of course," Thompson said.
