Redskins will play healthy starters against Cowboys

Rather than sitting their starting quarterback for a “meaningless” game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Redskins have confirmed that Kirk Cousins will play on Sunday.

England coach Trevor Bayliss wants attacking players upfront
We’d take that with our team at the moment, a lot of guys that play shots in the middle order. England were bowled out for 326 in their second innings just under an hour after lunch.

Cornerback DeAngelo Hall, wide receiver DeSean Jackson, defensive end Jason Hatcher and running back Pierre Thomas are also listed as questionable and their playing time will likely be limited if they do play given how important it will be for the team to have them available for the playoff opener.

“[Jones] tried to push it and didn’t feel right so we kept him out”, Gruden said.

The Redskins can dress only 46 players so many starters will have to play. “So, I don’t get too caught up in that”. It just so happens [we’re] in a position [where] we’re in and where we’re safe, and we know we’ve got a home playoff game. It’s their first playoff berth since 2012 but the first time they clinched before the final week of the regular season since 1999.

There are plenty of reasons the Cowboys (4-11), last year’s NFC East champs at 12-4, haven’t been able to win without Romo and could have their most losses since going 1-15 in 1989, the year Jones bought the team. Redskins can win consecutive games at Cowboys for first time since taking three straight from 1987-89…. “I think it’s a pretty fluid situation”. “I’d like to end on a four-game winning streak, win three games in a row on the road, finish the fourth quarter 4-0, finish 9-7”. But do I LIKE THAT the Redskins are in the playoffs or if I like their chances to make a run at the big one?

“I would be lying if I said I’m not going to pay attention to it”, the Pro Bowler said Wednesday.
