Redskins left tackle Trent Williams is healthy and ready to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. Of course, Williams is looking to suit up for a different team, so the stalemate continues. 
On Monday, head coach Jay Gruden reiterated that he still “very strongly” believes Williams won’t be traded. However, at this juncture, it’s hard to see a scenario in which Williams plays for the Redskins this year, so it’s hard to imagine the club passing on help in other areas or draft capital.
Earlier this month, the Redskins signed Donald Penn to help fill in for Williams up front. They’ve also discussed deals with other teams – for instance, the Dolphins have inquired on Williams and may still have interest. The Patriots, however, do not seem to be in the mix, despite being loosely connected to the veteran throughout the offseason.
The Redskins will face the Ravens on Thursday night in the final game of their preseason schedule. Then, on Sept. 8, they get the season started against the Eagles in Philadelphia.
I hope he sits all year. At his age you only have so many good years left. You want to spend that time making demands than you can watch the year go buy and come back for a new team next year. Hope you’re healthy cause that cash won’t be guaranteed lol
History of injury time the last two years, and was top paid tackle…I know I wouldn’t go there. He was dominating at one time, no so sure anymore!
Trade him to Houston for Clowney.
Highly doubt Clowney would want to play for Washington.
He’ll play for any team that signs him to a long deal. Jags to the Browns to the Cards to wherever, ‘pay and I’ll play.’
It’s taken many years for offensive lineman to get into a position where they could be as mercenary as other players so I don’t have a problem with that at all.
Except he can’t sign a long term extension.
redskins are bums how are they always mishandling their players this bad
It all comes down to having respect for the players and making an effort to understand what makes them tick. George Allen was an expert at that but Gruden said recently that he doesn’t have a clue what Williams is about. Of course Gruden probably doesn’t have a clue about anything and will get axed at the end of the season if not sooner.
