Although he acknowledged that he is worried about his rookie running back's ball security, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he will not shy away from using Matt Jones, ESPN.com reports.
Jones lost fumbles in both of Washington's last two games, but he's otherwise been impressive this season, rushing for 189 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries (5.3 yards per carry).
Although the fumbles may cost him playing time if they continue, Jones seems to have supplanted Alfred Morris as the Redskins' lead back after out-snapping the veteran 26-12 in Week 3. Of course, the Redskins may ride with the hot hand in any given game, as Morris has an impressive track record.
