ASHBURN — Trent Williams may be back at the Redskins’ facility, but the left tackle did not join his teammates for practice Wednesday — a day after he ended his months-long holdout.
Interim coach Bill Callahan said Williams failed his physical, noting the 31-year-old felt “discomfort” when putting on his helmet. In March, Williams underwent a medical procedure to remove a benign minor on his scalp. He was reportedly upset with the way the Redskins’ medical staff handled that issue, vowing privately to never play for them again.
The helmet twist is the latest development in Williams‘ dispute with the Redskins, making it unclear if the seven-time Pro Bowler will suit up for Washington this season.
