According to Ian Rapoport, Redskins LT Trent Williams did not report to the team on Wednesday.
Rapoport adds that means Williams won’t play Sunday, as Wednesday is when teams install their gameplan.
A report yesterday indicated Williams could rejoin Washington “sooner rather than later” but sooner appears to be next week at the earliest.
The 31-year-old left tackle previously said there was “zero chance I’ll be in that building” for Week 1 following comments from Redskins GM Bruce Allen indicating he expected Williams to play for the Redskins this year.
Williams requested either a trade or release earlier this offseason and has reportedly vowed not to play for Washington in 2019. The Redskins have reportedly rebuffed multiple inquiries for Williams this offseason.
Williams, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Redskins back in 2010. He currently in the fourth year of his five-year, $66 million contract that includes $43.25 million guaranteed and stands to make base salaries of $11 million and $12.5 million over the next two years of the agreement.
In 2018, Williams started 13 games for the Redskins. Pro Football Focus rated Williams as the No. 21 tackle out of 80 qualifying players.
