Gruden: RB carries 'will probably go through' Derrius Guice

Coach Jay Gruden said Monday that running back Derrius Guice — a second-round draft pick who has yet to play a regular-season game — could have an even larger role than expected in the Redskins’ offense.

"...it is about Derrius Guice, how much we faith we have in him to carry the ball,” Gruden said. “We drafted him for a reason. We feel like he can be a first-, second- and even third-round back if needed. The offense, carries-wise, will probably go through him, pretty much.”
