Ron Rivera offers small update on Trent Williams situation

It appears the Trent Williams situation continues to edge toward a resolution.

New Washington Redskins head coach Ron Rivera has been slowly working on it, with reports suggesting the team is optimistic they can get the star left tackle back.

Mark Maske of the Washington Post caught up with Rivera briefly after an NFL competition committee meeting and the head coach simply noted he had “nothing to share right now.”

But Maske went on to elaborate in a different tweet about the tone of the conversation and some less-than-direct quotes about the overall interaction that should provide Redskins fans with some hope:

More on Ron Rivera and Trent Williams: Rivera was not suggesting that discussions about Williams's possible return were not progressing well. He was just saying that nothing has been finalized either way at this point. In fact, it appears that talks so far have been promising.

It’s better than nothing, right?

If Rivera can somehow work his magic and get Williams back for the Redskins, it resolves one of the team’s biggest issues this offseason. Not only is he one of the best in the NFL at what he does, the Redskins desperately need stability in front of Dwayne Haskins.

With any luck, the next update will be even more positive.
