Redskins left tackle Trent Williams will miss “about a month” after undergoing thumb surgery, ESPN.com’s Dan Graziano (on Twitter) hears. If Willams is sidelined for the next four games, it will mark the third-straight campaign in which he has missed at least a quarter of the regular season. 
The six-time Pro Bowler is in the midst of a solid season as he ranks among Pro Football Focus’ Top 15 tackles in the NFL. He’s a beat behind his usual marks with a so-so score for pass blocking that puts him 17th among all qualifying outside linemen, but the 5-2 Redskins will miss his presence as they fight for the divisional crown.
The Redskins’ next four games come against the Falcons, Buccaneers, Texans, and Cowboys. The Bucs, Texans, and Cowboys all boast Top 10 defensive lines, according to Football Outsiders, so it’s not an ideal time for the club to lean on backups such as Ty Nsekhe and third-rounder Geron Christian.
