Head Coach Jay Gruden
On injuries:
“Out will be Spencer Long, knees; Jordan Reed, hamstring; Terrelle Pryor, ankle. He will see a specialist on Monday. Questionable will be the rest of them. We added [Quinton] Dunbar to the list. He missed practice today with an illness and a stomach virus or something. But [Trent] Williams, [Zach] Brown, [Ryan] Grant, [DeAngelo] Hall, [Matt] Ioannidis, [Anthony] Lanier, [Shawn] Lauvao, [Montae] Nicholson, [Ty] Nsekhe, [Niles] Paul, [Brian] Quick, [Brandon] Scherff, [Quinton] Dunbar – all questionable.â€
On WR Terrelle Pryor Sr.:
“He's going to repeat and go see the specialist on Monday.â€
On if next week's Thanksgiving game impacts decisions for injured players this week:
“As far as to this game? It doesn't play into it at all. We have to take care of this game first of all and then we will worry about Thursday [on] Thursday. Get as many guys as we can ready to play and the ones that can play and are able, we'll play them.â€
On if T Trent Williams could be too sore to play both this Sunday and next Thursday:
“That could be an issue, yes. But, like I said, we are going to try to get him ready for the Saints and then see how he feels for the Thursday game.â€
On if there is a certain position group that he is concerned about the most with injuries:
“It's always the offensive line right now, without a doubt. The question is if you dress seven or eight of them and that affects your 46-man deal. So we will have to figure that out and get a better gauge tomorrow morning and see how they are doing walking around and go from there.â€
On if Brian Quick and Ryan Grant still dealing with concussions and how that impacts the wide receiver group:
“Yes, and now with Pryor being out, yes... Fortunately we have [Jamison] Crowder and we have Mo [Maurice Harris] and Josh [Doctson]. They are three healthy guys and then I'm hoping to get one or both for the game, Grant and Quick.â€
On how RB Byron Marshall has practiced this week and the plan for him on Sunday:
“[He's] very smart, very smart. He can also return kicks, which is a plus. We will see if we can get him in the game a little bit, but he picked it up quickly. Randy [Jordan] has done a great job with him.â€
On Marshall's versatility and ability to split out wide:
“Yeah, that's what drew us to him, quite frankly. I think this day and age in pro football, you've got to have that versatility at running back. We have a good banger in Samaje [Perine] and Rob [Kelley] was that way also. Then to have Chris [Thompson] and another guy like him is a benefit. But he is 220 pounds, so I think he can do a little bit of both.â€
