Sunday, Nov. 16

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams left the team's Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to injuries with his knee and ankle. Williams was ruled out for the rest of the contest following the injury.    

The Redskins' official Twitter account revealed the news:

Jay Gruden updated Williams' status following the game, via the Redskins:

Williams also spoke about the injury following the game, via John Keim of ESPN.com:

"

'You're automatically scared that it could be something serious,' Williams said. 'I was a little worried there.' 

(...)

'It was a huge relief,' Williams said. 'To know that it's not the ACL was pretty gratifying.'

"

Rob Carlin of CSN Washington passed along the reaction and his thoughts on Williams' ailment:

Williams has played in all 16 games over the last two seasons as a stalwart on the offensive line, starting all of those contests.

If Williams is forced to miss any more time after Sunday, the line will have to shift again. Heading into a huge showdown with the San Francisco 49ers next week, the team can't afford his loss against a stout defense.
