RICHMOND, Virginia -- Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams expectedly did not report to camp Wednesday, but coach Jay Gruden expressed optimism about the eventual outcome.
Williams' absence wasn't surprising given that he stayed away from the mandatory minicamp in June over issues with the organization's medical staff, multiple sources have told ESPN.
He had a growth removed from his head in the offseason, and those close to him have said he was upset with how many years it took for them to address the situation. But one Redskins source said the team made appointments for him over the years that he did not keep.
