Trent Williams Placed on IR Due to Knee Injury; Expected to Have Surgery

The Washington Redskins announced Friday that left tackle Trent Williams has been placed on injured reserve after playing through a knee injury that he initially suffered during training camp.

According to Stephen Czarda of the team's official website, Williams' knee injury "will soon require surgery."

"This is uncharted water for me," Williams said, per Czarda. "I've never had a surgery in my life, not like a real surgery. I had a staph infection in high school where they just had to cut it out, but I've never had to get anything repaired.
