Washington offensive tackle Trent Williams sustained a right knee injury during the team's Thursday Night Football game against the New York Giants and is questionable to return.

Washington can’t afford to sustain another long-term injury.

There’s not much we know about what exactly happened, but there’s this from ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C.:
Trent Williams still down on trainers table.. Larry Hess working with right leg so I suppose that is a good sign that Dr. Andrews left area.
— ESPN 980 (@ESPNRadio980) September 26, 2014 Washington cannot afford to lose any more players on offense as quarterback Robert Griffin III went down with a severe ankle injury in Week 2. Williams has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons and hasn't missed a game since becoming a full-time starter.
The 26-year-old out of Oklahoma is an important piece of the offensive puzzle for Washington as it tries to sort out its woes at quarterback. Kirk Cousins is in the midst of his worst game as a professional after throwing four interceptions through three full quarters of action.
On the other side of the ball, DeAngelo Hall is out for the season after rupturing his Achilles. Another injury to a major player would be devastating.
