Washington tackle Trent Williams reported to the team on Tuesday. JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports, however, that Williams “has no intention of playing this season.”
The strategy underscores the reality that Williams showed up for one reason and one reason only: To get credit for the current year of his contract. If the deal tolls, he’ll be under contract through 2021; if it doesn’t, he’ll be a free agent after 2020.

I don't think it's a dig. Or are you implying I was taking a dig at him? (I wasn't.)
I was actually wondering if he is intentionally playing up the discomfort because he refuses to play?

Yes, this latter one is what I meant. The skin growth was the subject of his dispute with the Redskins doctors/team. He finally had it removed in the offseason, iirc, and I'm guessing "helmet soreness" is his way of making an issue about it.
I had a malignant tumor grow outside my skull that I had removed. I'm not about to take a shot at someone for something similar.

I think you worded that incorrectly.

Williams was asked by a reporter about when he first approached the Washington team doctor about this: "Probably like six years ago," he said.
"I guess nobody took the time to actually realize, try to see what was really going on there," Williams said. "Football was more important, and I mean, to me it was more important, too. I was told it was something minor, so I didn't really question it. But, I mean, the lump continued to grow over the years. It was concerning, but there was no pain involved. If I'm being told by the very people who I put my career in the hands of, they're telling me that I'm fine, then I'm fine. That's how I looked at it."
According to ESPN, Williams said team doctors did not tell him to see a specialist until this offseason. He had surgery in the winter, and Williams said, according to the ESPN story, he needed 350 stitches and 75 staples on his head and that the incision was about the size of a softball.
"We literally caught it within weeks of metastasizing through to my brain, to my skull," Williams said, per the ESPN story. "Extracting it was the only thing they could do. Doing radiology on it would have put a cap on my life. I think 15 years was the most I would have had after I started chemo. So I had to cut it out."
According to the ESPN story, Williams failed his physical on Tuesday because wearing a helmet causes discomfort on his scalp, which remains sensitive from the surgery.
Apparently it was quite large. Freaky. I thought it was just a small lump. Weird how slow all of these details have been to get out.

As much as I hate to admit it, I do believe Tomlin is better than Freddie Kitchens
Steelers cut Moncrief. He was a success if they were going for "record number of dropped passes."
