Work Continues For Rashad Ross After Making Roster

Rashad Ross was excited to learn that his excellent preseason resulted in a roster spot, but knows that he must continue to grow as the season progresses.

After leading all receivers in receiving yards, receptions and touchdowns during the preseason, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said the decision to keep Rashad Ross on the team's 53-man roster was a “no brainer.”

“You talk about going out there and making plays, I’d be lying to you if I had cut him,” Gruden told the media Sunday following the team’s first practice preparing for their Week 1 opponent, the Dolphins.
