In an exclusive interview with USA Today Sports’ Mike Jones, seven-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams says “the bridge has definitely been burned” between him and the Washington Redskins.
Williams says he no longer trusts team doctors and executives after they took six years to perform a biopsy on a growth on Williams’ skull. He finally got the biopsy in January and learned the growth was indeed cancerous.
The team placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list on Thursday, ending his 2019 season. Williams summed up his feelings with Jones:
“I feel like everything has run its course,” he said. “I mean, I do want to play football still and I’m not a free agent until after the 2020 season, so who knows. But the bridge has definitely been burned, and any efforts now, basically are, in my opinion, pretty much just CYA (cover your [expletive]).”
