RICHMOND — Trent Williams worked his usual slow walk Sunday afternoon at Redskins training camp. Even when he has felt well, Williams moves at a tortoise pace, hiding his all-pro level athleticism.
Sunday’s casual stroll was part tradition, part soreness induced. The Redskins’ left tackle participated in individual drills but not teamwide work because of a sore knee. Williams had missed the prior two practices.
“[Trent] did a little bit more today,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. ” We’ll gradually progress him until he’s ready to roll, which is very, very close.”
Wide receiver Jamison Crowder was moving at a faster speed, though he was doing so alongside a trainer. The second-year wide receiver jogged the length of the end zone, testing his sore hamstring. He did not practice.
“He’s going to be close to Atlanta [on Thursday],” Gruden said. “And if not Atlanta, maybe the following week. But, he’s not far away.”
Rookie wide receiver Reggie Diggs, who played at Richmond, left practice because of a sore knee which was bothering him prior.
