Moses dons No. 71 in honor of missing Williams

No. 71 was back with the Redskins on Sunday, joking with reporters about holding out for a pizza and a Pepsi, and promising the Washington Redskins would be ready for the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener.

Unfortunately for Washington, the lineman inside the No. 71 jersey wasn’t perennial All-Pro Trent Williams.

Teammate Morgan Moses donned the absent offensive lineman’s practice jersey to add some levity to a holdout crisis that seems to get darker by the day.

Amid reports the left tackle will not play again for the Redskins — denied by the team as “100% false” — Moses sounded hopeful as he jokingly answered questions as Williams.
