With the signing of Ryan Grant, I assume that either Royster or Helu may be a no go for Sunday.
Trent Williams is not only an average LT, but an injury prone tackle. Has been since he was drafted.

Don't agree with this at all. Williams is a very, very good left tackle and getting better all the time. I don't know about injury-prone. He was healthy last year. Can't count a positive drug test as an injury. The offensive line without Williams is a shambles. I like him and the Redskins need him badly.Quote:

I Doubt our latest free agent bust will play sunday.according to another website,he stated he was just" a little bit better" and he said he"heals slowly".
DEPTH, Ashburn, it's all about DEPTH.
Man, Pierre Garcon needs to invest in a hyperbaric chamber so he can heal faster. When i saw the play where he got injuried never in a million years would have said he would have missed 2 games much less 3.
As far as Trent williams is concerned, without him we are doomed. He is well above average for a LT and there is a significant dropoff when he is not in there. I think he has definitely had injury concerns through his short career so i hope this is not significant. Otherwise we have no chance.
He missed two games to injury his rookie year and two games to injury his sophomore season. He might miss a game on Sunday, but we don't know it yet. I don't see that as injury-prone. Jammal Brown -- that's injury-prone. Also, Trent is generally fantastic when he's in there. I thought he was pretty good, but inconsistent until about October of last year, when he really started kicking ass. He was great in training camp and I think he's been good so far. Anyone who doesn't like the Redskins offensive line now should get a look at what it'll be like without Williams. Ugh.Quote:
