The season is still young, but the Washington Redskins are already facing a mini injury crisis ahead of their home opener vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
Gruden confirmed earlier reports that defensive tackle
Caleb Brantley will miss the game against Dallas due to an ankle injury. Brantley was then placed on Injured Reserve.
Dunbar’s knee swelled up Wednesday in practice. They got it checked out. Gruden doesn’t know details.

September 13, 2019 Cornerback Quinton Dunbar, who did not practice Thursday or Friday, is listed as questionable with a knee injury. If Dunbar is unable to play, the Skins may use Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie as an outside corner.
The Redskins listed defensive back
Fabian Moreau (ankle) as doubtful.
Safety
Montae Nicholson (foot), who did not practice Wednesday, practiced Friday and is expected to play.
The Redskins head coach announced the signing of practice squad wide receiver
Robert Davis and cornerback Aaron Colvin to the 53-man roster. The Redskins also signed defensive back Deion Harris to the practice squad.
Running back
Derrius Guice, who will miss several weeks after
undergoing knee surgery Thursday, was placed on Injured Reserve Friday. This will mean Guice will be out at least eight weeks.
