Jay Gruden answered questions following today's practice and the majority of them were about Trent Williams. Reports came out today that Williams had requested a trade or release over a medical dispute with the Redskins staff. Gruden said the issue might be over the timing of his diagnosis for a timor that was removed from his scalp in the offseason.
