Arians may also be thinking that it is smarter to start the rookie against a weak team like the Redskins (at home) to get his #1 and #2 more time to get healthy. I suspect that Gruden may have had similar thoughts about not playing Reed last week, as it sounded like he was close to ready before the game -- i.e., why subject him to the Seahawks D and a team we're unlikely to beat if he's not 100% and we will need him for the rest of the season?
