-

Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams practiced Mondayand has been fully cleared after being taken to the hospital in an ambulance following the team’s game at Dallas on Thanksgivi­ng Day. Williams said the medical staff was worried he had suffered a bruised liver in the team’s 31-23 loss to the Cowboys, but that wasn’t the case. Hehadabrui­sed rib diagnosed. “I wasatad bit dehydrated, so I wasa little lightheade­d and stuff,” Williams said. “They just wanted to be safe [rather] than sorry.” The sixtime Pro Bowl selection also said his surgically repaired thumb is a challenge to play with, considerin­g the cast virtually takes away the use of his right hand. Thecast immobilize­s the joint, but keeps him from grabbing while blocking. He also experience­s pain from impacts while blocking. The Redskins were able to get an extra workout in this week, with their next game coming next Monday night in Philadelph­ia. Cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin), linebacker Zach Brown (knee), defensive lineman Jonathan Allen (knee), defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (calf ), linebacker Ryan Anderson, linebacker McKinzy Cassanova, tackle Morgan Moses (ankle), and tight ends Jordan Reed and JeremySpri­nkle did not participat­e during the portion of practice open to the media.
