ASHBURN, Va. Patrick Kerney Jersey . - Robert Griffin III could be starting again even if Colt McCoy is healthy.It would be the fifth quarterback change for first-year coach Jay Gruden, who is looking worn down under the burden of the ever-present turmoil that surrounds the Washington Redskins.Gruden said Monday he will await the outcome of tests on McCoys sprained neck before deciding on a starter for the upcoming game against the New York Giants. The coach said Griffin would be the choice right now if McCoy cant play, then left open the possibility of going with Griffin regardless of the medical report — and even said he could envision Kirk Cousins playing again this year.I dont want to really rush into any decision, Gruden said.McCoy was hurt during Sundays 24-0 loss to the St. Louis Rams, a result that dropped the Redskins to 3-10 and took a further toll on coach and players. There is now broad speculation about the futures of Gruden, Griffin and general manager Bruce Allen beyond this season, and many in the organization were especially stunned over the weekend when longtime Washington linebacker London Fletcher made searing comments about defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett.Watching from afar in recent years as an offensive co-ordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals, Gruden knew the Redskins were often a source of news about off-field disarray, but its totally different to live through it.Its a little bit more than I expected, yes, Gruden said. But I understand that there are stories to be had. ... We try to stay positive and upbeat, and I try not to let the stories get to me or this team, and we try to nip them in the bud and address them in our meetings and move forward and try to stay together as a locker room, but thats just the way it is, man, Ive learned here.Griffin appeared done for the season — and possibly for good in Washington — when he was benched two weeks ago by Gruden, but the results havent improved with McCoy. McCoy threw for just 199 yards with two interceptions Sunday before he was hurt in the fourth quarter, yielding to Griffin during the teams final drive.McCoy appeared stiff as he met with reporters and said he was still in pain. He said doctors are still trying to figure the nature of his injury after tests at a hospital Sunday night and more on Monday. He said he was actually hurt when he was sacked for the fifth time with about seven minutes left and played through the discomfort until the two-minute warning.I knew something wasnt right, McCoy said.Griffin didnt speak with reporters in the locker room Monday, although he performed an impressive athletic feat — a between-the-legs, 360-degree dunk with a mini-basketball into a mini-hoop that players have installed to help pass the downtime on practice days.Im going to walk away on that one, he said with a smile.Gruden said Griffin will get some work with the starters at practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The coach was asked why he might expect Griffin to play better now after struggling earlier in the season.Hopefully hes taken a step back and taken everything in and has continued to learn the position and learn about the concepts were trying run, Gruden said. And hopefully hell have a little bit more of a confident air about him when he jumps in and theres less indecision.Gruden also addressed the overall demeanour of a team thats lost five straight and is on pace for a sixth last-place finish in seven years.Right now, in my opinion, were lacking in fundamental confidence, Gruden said. Weve just got to get some pep in our step and play, have some fun.Notes: Gruden said RB Roy Helu will be probably out a least a week with a sprained toe. ... Gruden said he was disappointed in a play in which DL Chris Baker started celebrating a sack too soon. The ball was fumbled and won the ground by Bakers feet while he had his hands raised in jubilation. We addressed that today. Obviously he didnt see the ball out; thats no excuse, Gruden said. We should act like weve been there before.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Tyler Ott Jersey .

He still wanted out. "It just seemed like the direction they were going didnt fit what I thought my career was going to be," Kesler said.
