Griffin, who missed time due to various injuries during his
record-setting rookie season of 2012, dislocated his left ankle
during the first quarter of Washington's 41-10 home win over the
Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
"I think it's too early to tell as far as the timetable is
concerned - all we know is it's not a fracture, " Gruden told
reporters during a news conference. "We are gonna put the cast
on it for a couple weeks, get more results to doctor (Robert)
Anderson, see what he says and go from there."
Griffin, who was named the NFL's Rookie of the Year for the 2012
season, suffered the injury as he completed an across-the-body
throw before tumbling out of bounds. He had his leg placed in a
splint and was carted off the field.
Back-up Kirk Cousins took over under center and threw for 250
yards and two touchdowns as Washington improved to 1-1 on the
season.
