Jay Gruden ‘seriously doubts’ that Redskins would trade Trent Williams

Trent Williams’ holdout has been the biggest story out of Redskins training camp so far. And with good reason.

With Williams out, the team severely lacked depth at the left tackle position and were forced to play Ereck Flowers there. Flowers was bad enough to prompt the team to sign Corey Robinson and later, Donald Penn to shore up their tackle room. Flowers was moved back to guard, the original position the team expected him to play when they signed him, while Penn seems likely to fill in for Williams.

On top of their tackle issues with Williams out, there came reports that Williams doesn’t want to play for Washington anymore, citing issues he has had with the medical staff regarding a growth on his head that he had surgery on this offseason.
