Washington faces 'tough decision' at running back

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins have a tough problem that they hope is a good one. Depending on health, they will need to sit a running back who could potentially help them -- but they will do so because they consider the other ones more capable of helping.

The injury report will factor in this decision, of course, as two running backs -- Matt Jones and Chris Thompson -- are dealing with aches and pains.

"We’ll probably have to make a tough decision if we’re only going to go with four running backs," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
