ASHBURN Womens Bryce Love Jersey , Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams skipped the opening day of the team’s mandatory minicamp reportedly over contract concerns.The reason for his absence reportedly shifted to a medical-based issue by Wednesday’s second day of minicamp.Williams’ no-show centered on frustration with the team’s training staff according to reports. The specific issue comes from the initial treatment of a growth on the seven-time Pro Bowl lineman’s scalp. Williams had the growth removed following the 2018 season.“I really don’t have (a response). I am just trying to focus on the guys who are here right now,” coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday of the report.“I know Trent knows how much we need him and want him back. That is the only thing I can do from here. As far as what happened between him and the doctors, that is between him and the doctors and hopefully we get that cleared up soon.” dominated the second day of the mandatory three-day minicamp.“I think our medical staff has done a good job,” Gruden said. “I think where the frustration might lie is the timing of the diagnosis. Maybe he wishes it was diagnosed a little sooner, from my understanding. But other than that, I think our doctors and medical staff have done a good job.”Asked if Williams communicated his frustration with the medical staff to him,” Gruden said, “No.”Injuries have been an issue for Williams during his nine-year career. He last played a full 16-game season in 2013. Williams missed three games in 2018 with a thumb injury. When available, he remains one of the league’s elite left tackles.“He’s a big part of this team,” running back Adrian Peterson said of Williams. “You just know you have that security with him there.”Peterson said he expects Williams, a longtime friend from their playing days at the University of Oklahoma, back for training camp though he would not comment on whether the two have discussed the matter.“There’s always going to be different reports out. You never know what to believe,” Peterson said. “It’s minicamp. I’m sure it’s not the first time he’s missed it before. Whenever he comes back, he’ll be ready to roll. That’s what I do know.”The Redskins rolled on with their offseason work https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/a … rin-jersey , including the development of Dwayne Haskins despite the absence of the man expected to protect the rookie quarterback’s blindside.Williams has two seasons remaining on a five-year, $66 million contract.“I just know he’s absent, to be honest with you. The contractual stuff is out of my hands. The medical things that you guys are talking about are really out of my hands as well,” Gruden said. “My job is to coach the players that are here and that is all I can do.”As for whether he expects Williams back, Gruden said, “I sure hope so.” PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz was at his best back on the move again.Wentz tossed two touchdown passes, Darren Sproles ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles stayed in the hunt for the NFC East title with a 28-13 victory over the depleted Washington Redskins on Monday night.The Eagles (6-6) won consecutive games for the first time since Nick Foles led them to a Super Bowl victory over the Patriots.Article continues below ...The Redskins (6-6) lost backup quarterback Colt McCoy to a serious right leg injury in his second game replacing Alex Smith, who broke his right tibia and fibula on Nov. 18.

It was the longest run Philadelphia has allowed in franchise history but Washington’s lead didn’t last long.Wentz, who hasn’t scrambled much since returning in Week 3 from surgery to repair two knee ligaments, didn’t run for any yards. But he ran around and made big plays when he improvised and on designed rollouts.“Anytime he can extend plays with his legs, he’s such a great athlete Montez Sweat Jersey , that’s an advantage to the offense,” coach Doug Pederson said. “Being able to do that allows us to stay on the field. He’s gifted in doing that. It comes natural to him.”Sproles put Philadelphia up 14-10 on a 14-yard TD run in the second quarter.
