Trent Williams says he had 'anger, disappointment' over suspension

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams returned from his first four-game suspension five years ago motivated to make sure he never missed another game. After his latest one, he returns disappointed -- but more with others than with himself.

Williams was suspended in late October, two days after returning from London, for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. One source said at the time that Williams had missed a test because he was out of town, but did not fail one. But a missed test equates to a failed one in the eyes of the NFL.
