Griffin, who has not played since Week 2 against the Jaguars, received a heavier workload at practice Wednesday while wearing a protective brace on his left ankle. Gruden said that McCoy is the projected starter against Dallas "as of right now."
"I'd like to make a decision tomorrow after practice," Gruden told reporters Wednesday.
