Kaepernick for a tryout was "discussed" by the quarterback-needy Washington Redskins Youth Chase Roullier Jersey , according to coach Jay Gruden, who said Tuesday the team made a "strictly football" decision to look elsewhere."Isn't it obvious what the real reason is?" Kaepernick's lawyer, Mark Geragos, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.Kaepernick, who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance Youth Josh Doctson Jersey , hasn't played since the 2016 season, when he began kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest police brutality and social and racial injustice. He filed a grievance against the NFL last year, saying team owners colluded to keep him off rosters. Gruden told reporters during a conference call that there would have been "a greater possibility" of considering Kaepernick for a roster spot if the Redskins were in need of a QB in Week 1 rather than at this stage of the season."Not a lot of time to really get a brand new quarterback and new system installed and taught in a couple of days of practice," Gruden said. "So he's been talked about and discussed, but we'll probably go a different direction."Added Gruden: "You want to have somebody with a similar skillset to the quarterback you have. Not that Colin can't do some of the things that I'm talking about Youth Quinton Dunbar Jersey , but somebody with a little bit of familiarity."Washington quarterback Colt McCoy had surgery Tuesday after fracturing his right fibula in a 28-13 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. McCoy had replaced Alex Smith as the starting quarterback after Smith broke his right leg in a game last month and was ruled out for the season.Gruden said McCoy would not go on injured reserve immediately because there is a slight chance he might be able to return to action by Week 17.Now the Redskins will turn to Mark Sanchez, who starts at QB next Sunday for the Redskins (6-6) against the visiting New York Giants (4- .Against the Eagles, the 32-year-old Sanchez compiled a passer rating of 53.7, going 13 for 21 for only 100 yards with one interception and one fumble that he managed to recover."For me to go in and play was in an emergency situation and those things happen. Now it goes from contingency plan to game plan," Sanchez said. "Listen Youth Adrian Peterson Jersey , I've seen just about everything in this league except for, I don't know, a Super Bowl game."He hasn't started a regular-season NFL game since going 0-2 in the 2015 season.Sanchez's career passer rating is 73.7, and he has more interceptions (87) than TD passes (86) since entering the league as a first-round draft pick of the New York Jets.Gruden said the Redskins would be bringing in a couple of unemployed quarterbacks for workouts later Tuesday and then would decide among them and those street free agents that tried out last month when Sanchez was signed. That group included Kellen Clemens, T.J. Yates Womens Josh Doctson Jersey , EJ Manuel and Josh Johnson.Notes: Already missing two starting guards, the Redskins lost two more against Philadelphia. Jonathan Cooper tore a biceps tendon and needs season-ending surgery; Tony Bergstrom will miss at least two games with a high ankle sprain. ¡ LB Ryan Anderson will likely miss at least a week with a strained hamstring. The Redskins finally found a replacement for Defensive Backs Coach Torrian Gray, who left to return to the University of Florida. Former Cardinals, Titans, and Browns Defensive Coordinator Ray Horton was lured out of a leisurely life of flying airplanes and golfing to return to the NFL to coach DBs for the Redskins. There were reports Horton could also become Washington¡¯s Defensive Pass Game Coordinator Authentic Matthew Ioannidis Jersey , but that is reportedly not happening...yet.DeAngelo Hall was also interviewed for the Redskins¡¯ DB coaching position. He was reportedly impressive enough to be considered for the job. Hall retired last year after 14 years in the NFL. He spent his final 10 seasons with the Redskins. Hall was reportedly interested in either a front office position, coaching, or broadcasting following his retirement.Hall also said that he was offered the DB coaching job at the University of Maryland. He was waiting to hear back from the Redskins, and new Terps HC Mike Locksley moved and hired Cory Robinson for DB Coach/Defensive Passing Game Coordinator. DeAngelo Hall also mentioned that current Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky was in on the meetings with Head Coach Jay Gruden as Team President Bruce Allen mentioned during his recent Q&A with reporters.
