The Washington Redskins began the third phase of their offseason program on Tuesday, holding their first official practice on Tuesday. But three of the team’s top offensive players were not in attendance.
Left tackle Trent Williams, wide receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed were all absent. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, also was not in attendance, and neither was backup cornerback Tracy Porter. These practice sessions are voluntary, but attendance is strongly encouraged.
Williams, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, missed Tuesday’s practice because his flight out of Houston, where there were massive storms, on Monday evening got canceled, Coach Jay Gruden said.
