More from our @Kia MVP of The Game, QB Josh Johnson: https://t.co/rA9amBQQSu pic.twitter.com/TinsVgXMvi
Jay Gruden said he told QB Josh Johnson to "calm down" in pre-game because "he was throwing 180 miles an hour at the guy... But he has a lot of poise for a guy who just got here... He made some big-time throws. I was impressed with him."

Redskins injury updates: there's some hope tight end Jordan Reed (foot/toe) can return this week, but they're not sure yet; they're also hopeful about guard Ty Nsekhe (knee); corner Josh Holsey partially tore his ACL and was placed on injured reserve;... https://t.co/UkSEENFL2N
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 17, 2018
Jay Gruden said Colt McCoy recently sent a video of him running through drills. McCoy underwent surgery to repair a broken fibula on Dec. 4. It’s unclear if the veteran QB will be able to return this season but it hasn’t been ruled out, either. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/qfJaF80vTa

*CB Josh Holsey is headed to IR w/ partially torn ACL
*OL Ty Nsekhe's status for Sat. is TBD due to knee
*CB Danny Johnson's status going forward is TBD due to knee, finger injuries
*TE Jordan Reed (foot) has started working w/ trainers. Status unclear.
Asked about the new long snapper Andrew East, Gruden said, “he did pretty good, I guess.”

Coach said hard to compare to Sundberg’s velocity.
Gruden on importance of special teams: “Were gonna be grinding out some games these last couple weeks.”

Johnson “I owe this game that much because I love it that much”. His passion is obvious. Easy for fans to root for. https://t.co/sEraJN99vK

There *is* talent here; I think focus in the draft should be adding more speed at WR and another big, mad mf'er on the offensive line. Don't force QB early.
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) December 17, 2018
Nice bounce-back game from Foster.

#Redskins might not have gotten a ton of yards out of it, but I liked the 2 RB package with both Thompson and Marshall out of the pistol yesterday. Had multiple different plays out of the same/similar look. Liked the creativity. pic.twitter.com/6Ledr9ElOn

Jalen Ramsey literally points and laughs at Maurice Harris after this 4th quarter drop. I'm dying laughing. It's so disrespectful.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 17, 2018
(The next play is the Crowder tip miracle, so the laughing probably didn't last long for Ramsey...) pic.twitter.com/m1wPZadnpK
This play & call by Gruden/Johnson/ Sprinkle one of my favorites. Run down, look, sell & execution with the PA boot. Set up the #Redskins game-tying score. pic.twitter.com/u4AsZ2vRSy

“We needed that win. We had done too much good early in the season to just let it all go away.” — Ryan Kerrigan, who had two sacks Sunday to get to 11 on the season. He’s now recorded double digits in sacks in four of the last five years. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/52yPOaI8Lq

At least one team has Redskins senior VP Eric Schaffer "at the top of their list" for Pres./Football Ops. candidates, a source tells @Russellmania621. It would be a "death blow" to Dan Snyder if Schaffer left, the source says. https://t.co/Ih37s6fzPc

Simmie Cobbs shown by ESPN wearing a #Saints hat and helping Drew Brees warm up before this next New Orleans drive. #Redskins wasted a young asset - and they know it. https://t.co/FSDt6vvaeM

This is what it's gonna take. The threat of losing Schaffer. Dan has to know that Schaffer is more valuable than Bruce.

Kapri Bibbs was waived before Sunday's game. Now, he's on the #Packers. https://t.co/eDo44RGXDI
— Riggo's Rag (@RiggosRag) December 18, 2018
Allow me to be clear on Eric Schaffer: That does NOT mean he is leaving or will. Many factors at play, but while he's been considered for lofty positions by teams & the #NFL league office before, I'm led to believe this is 1st time he is a top candidate for a team president role.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) December 18, 2018
A promising receiver isn't with the #Redskins anymore and that fact upsets Jay Gruden.
— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) December 18, 2018
Here's his take on the situation. https://t.co/7FzjubjmZG
The #Packers claimed Kapri Bibbs this afternoon.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 17, 2018
Not sure if there’s anyone who did more charity events than Kapri the last two years. Jane will have the official count, but that’s a good dude and not just a good player heading to Green Bay. https://t.co/UD8dPNKnhH
I was told Redskins were hoping to get Kapri Bibbs back to practice squad. Not happening. Bibbs to Green Bay off waivers.

Clinton Portis thinks Josh Johnson played himself into a role for next season: "Even if Colt comes back, I think Johnson gives you more of an opportunity because of scrambling ability." https://t.co/gPOEK2Ii0G

Caller asks Mike Francesa if Nick Foles is headed to the Hall of Fame if he wins another Super Bowl MVP. Quick backstory: Every time Eli Manning's HoF candidacy is brought up, Mike leans on the fact that every 2-time SB MVP is in Canton. So that's where the caller is going. pic.twitter.com/PnqGse5PV8

BUT the Eagles are still alive, and need a win in D.C. to have any shot at overtaking the Vikings and knocking Cousins out of the playoffs. So the Skins tank to spite Cousins. Love it.

John Wall once witnessed a teammate traded at halftime. That happened to Scott Brooks during his playing days. No wonder little about the NBA surprises them. Even that trade chaos. Shocking naysayers by rallying once Trevor Ariza joins is all that matters. https://t.co/8lKNTtHvkp

Source with knowledge of the situation: Nationals have had two brief meetings w/ Josh Harrison’s representation, in San Diego and Las Vegas. There is “mutual interest,” according to the source, but they noted that Harrison’s camp seems to be looking closely at other options.
