ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — DeSean Jackson said he can relate to what Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is going through.
After Griffin lost the starting job on Monday,Wholesale China Jerseys, Jackson compared it to his leaving the Eagles after the 2013 season.
"Unfortunately, we didn't really have time to get a guy in here and teach him the playbook," Gruden said.
Griffin hasn't said how — or even if — the injury occurred, setting off speculation.
Jackson said Griffin will have an opportunity to bounce back,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys.
Jackson also endured a frenzy when Philadelphia released him in March 2014 amid suggestions the move was connected to off-field issues. He had career-high 1,332 yards receiving in the 2013 season, and signed with the Redskins in April 2014.
"Our offense is based off the run and opening up everything else off of that,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China," wide receiver Pierre Garcon said. "We're still going to call the same plays we've been calling, and keep moving forward."
In the interim, Colt McCoy will play the entire final preseason game Thursday against Jacksonville. Cousins will be the backup in case of injury, Gruden said.
Coach Jay Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins will be the team's starter after Cousins performed well in Saturday's preseason game.
Cousins completed 20 of 27 passes for 190 yards,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, a touchdown and an interception against Baltimore on Saturday.
Jackson and other offensive players said the offense's principles of balance wouldn't change with Cousins, considered a more traditional pocket passer.
While empathizing with Griffin, Jackson said it "means a lot" for the first-team offense just to know who will be under center. He also expects to be ready to play with Cousins on Week 1 after dealing with a sprained right shoulder this preseason.
"But this is the game we're in, this is the league we're in,cheap jerseys nfl wholesale, this is the NFL. Nothing's for certain. I had to learn that for myself a couple years ago."
"The best advice I could tell him is just to keep his head high," Jackson said. "When he has an opportunity to play again, wherever it's going to be in this league,China Jerseys Wholesale, I definitely think he'll do what he needs to do to get it done."
Griffin had completed 6 of 13 passes in two previous preseason games, and the Redskins said he sustained a concussion in the second against Detroit on Aug. 20.
"It's just unfortunate he has to be in this situation like that," Jackson said on Tuesday.
Griffin was unavailable for the game via the league's concussion protocol.
