Mike Shanahan: London Fletcher's ankle is "quite sore" and Trent Williams has a deep thigh bruise. #Redskins

Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen
Trent Williams said he bruised his thigh on the third play of the game in Dallas. Said he played at 60% health for the rest of the game.

Mike Jones ‏@MikeJonesWaPo
Trent didn't practice today. Nor did London fletcher - ankle.

damn ...that's a tough mother. Imagine having to go up against a beast like Ware with a thigh bruise ... crazy. good job trent.

I saw somewhere on ES somebody said he had a his worst game of the year against Dallas ...its that true? maybe this is why.

as for London ... he's London.

I did notice Trent having a little bit of a tough time against Ware, though the bigger problem was they constantly brought multiple people from the left and Trent couldn't stop both of them. If he had a thigh bruise, that explains his struggle a little bit.

Dallas ran a lot of stunts on Trent's side. It wasn't even Ware that I noticed beating him, it was that random no name guy that kept stunting around. The thigh bruise may explain why he was having so much trouble.

One positive about playing Thanksgiving... we get extra rest... 10 days until the next game..

Apparently, Trent's ankle is still bothering him too.

They came off Trent's side but to me it looked as if korey, Paulson, and royster got beat.

I wonder if Trent needs to lose a little weight. He might be carrying a bit too much, and from recent pictures it looks like he could lose 25 lbs easily while. Not losing any strength

He came in really lite last year and it didn't pay off (remember all of the boxing and other crap he did during the offseason). I was actually excited that he had gained a little weight this year, it's certainly hasn't hurt his play thus far. But, in order to compensate for the injury you may be right.

He has been playing great... A pro bowl season IMO.

But I think it's more to do with technique and preparation, but who knows maybe he is better due to his increased weight

I'll agree against teams like the Giants, the liter, the better. But to deal with the more powerful teams out there he needs a little more size. He does look like he put on a good 15-20lbs this offseason though... you are definitely right about that. As a lifter, you know that this is something that can assist in his recovery at his young age right now. Eating lite right now and working through that stuff just isn't good for the big man's moral lol.

Just heard Brown to IR....smh

[Mr. Sinister]

Just heard Brown to IR....smh

So did he reaggravate the injury or did they just give up on him and save his roster spot for someone who could make more of a contribution???

I think it's just a matter of being able to keep his mind off of Doritos, but yeah, he is straight up ballin' this year.

As if this is a shocker. I think it's safe to say that Brown's days (as limited as they were) are numbered and will not be back with the team for 2013.

My guess is that the team has no confidence in his ability to contribute this year. Cutting him now means taking more of a cap hit than cutting him after June 1, I believe.
