“It sucks sitting on the sideline.” — Trent Williams (thumb) on potentially returning Sunday vs. the #Texans. He’s missed the last two games and had originally targeted next Thursday in Dallas. Seems that timeline has been moved up. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/aiXlfXhJhX

Trent Williams got a laugh when I told him that a lot of players wouldn’t be trying to play in a game like the Texans with an injury. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/5tyNUhgywS

I have never covered a tougher player who was more desperate to play at all times than Trent Williams. This is surprising but shouldn't be. The guy loves ball. https://t.co/n0hELbwzs2

Loved this Williams quote: "If you’re familiar with the surgery, surgery is usually an eight-week recovery. They came along with new medical things that can you get back quicker to cut that in half. So I’m trying to cut that in half."

Trent Williams says if Adrian Peterson had the same injury, “he’d try to play through it too”

Gruden at the podium. OUT: Crowder, Perine, Thompson

Trent Williams, Dustin Hopkins, Quinton Dunbar and Montae Nicholson are questionable. Perine hurts his calf

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) November 16, 2018

Dustin Hopkins kicked with no pain and, barring a setback, he should be good to go on Sunday.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 16, 2018

Jay Gruden said If Trey Quinn plays, he will handle punt return duties.

With Samaje Perine out for Sunday, the #Redskins may be forced to use their second and final IR activation: https://t.co/N6HhLMUjrM pic.twitter.com/Klp43MltvU

Btw I never would've looked for something like that before watching Peyton Manning's "Detail" show on ESPN+

He talks about how PA is not the time for your good handoff form. Again, that show is amazing and worth your time.

Matt Ioannidis is leading the #Redskins in sacks, QB hits and tackles for loss. His monster season is probably not getting enough ink. Pro bowl worthy performance to this point. pic.twitter.com/OgxB2ev69R

Colts got so much attention for Quenton Nelson’s screaming block vs. Jacksonville - see Twitter - that the NFL fined Indianapolis’ first-round pick $26,739 for leading with his helmet, per source. Nelson is appealing the fine from the play on which no penalty was called. pic.twitter.com/s82oQuIkoO

Back when he was hired by the Rams, Sean McVay gathered everybody who covers the team and gave a 90-minute chalk talk. I remember thinking: "Man, he's really smart. Wonder if he'll connect with the players and implement that on the field."

I don't wonder that so much anymore.
