The saga between the Washington Redskins and Trent Williams took another turn this week.
Williams returned to the team after he wasn’t dealt before the trade deadline. He then took a deep dive into the reasoning for his absence. Right after, the Redskins released a statement defending themselves.
In the process of releasing said statement, the Redskins asked for a joint investigation into claims made by Williams.
As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport noted in the tweet above, the Redskins will have their wish granted on this front. It creates a sort of peer-review situation from the outside to get to the bottom of the claims.
In the meantime, the Redskins are working to find a custom helmet that doesn’t cause Williams any discomfort. But given the developments, even unearthing such a helmet doesn’t seem like it will be enough to actually get Williams on the field.
