Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams is making a point to stay away from the team and his teammate Morgan Moses is glad he is taking a stance. According to John Keim of ESPN.com, Moses is sticking up for Williams because this is something that happens around the league a lot.

Williams is absent from minicamp because of his frustration with the way franchise has handled his medical treatment. Williams had a growth removed from his head earlier this offseason.

“It's about time someone like that stands up,” Moses said. “It's not just a situation here; it happens throughout the league. To have one of our peers like Trent to stand up like that means a lot. His scare is one you never want to have, but you've got to take care of yourself.”

Coach Jay Gruden said they have been talking to Williams off and on but he isn't sure if there is going to be a holdout.

“We have been talking to Trent a little bit here and there,” head coach Jay Gruden said in regards to Williams’ absence. “He is not here [at practice], you are right. As far as holding out for whatever reasons, that is between Trent and Eric [Schaffer] and Bruce [Allen]. Hopefully, we’ll get it all situated soon and get him back here.”

There are also some that believe that Williams would also like a new contract and that is part the holdout. Williams hasn't made any public comments so it's hard to know exactly what it's about, but his teammates have his back, whatever the case may be.
