bigdog44 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Probably just cleaning up after the surgery he had in the offseason. Not a big deal until it puts him on IR lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 You should always be concerned if you are going under the knife. That's not for football players, but for anyone. Yes, it may be low risk, but that is not no risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TRAIN 89 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I am resigned to the fact that Trent Williams will probably always play at 85%, given his age and injury history. With that being said, 85% of Trent Williams is still probably a top 5 OT in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 30, had multiple surgeries, and is starting to show signs of slowing. Redskins need to find a long term solution at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he was just as good as he ever was despite playing with a major knee injury that required surgery. My honest opinion is that the last two decades of elite LT play - except for 2009 when Samuels’ career ended - has spoiled this teams fanbase. Most fans took Chris Samuels for granted, and they take Trent for granted too. I also would say that we drafted Geron Christian with the hope that they can develop him into a starting LT within 3 years. So, they’ve actually thought about it and have planed ahead - like they did with Doctson - although that hasn’t worked out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
