Redskins coach Mike Shanahan confirmed Monday that he expects LT Trent Williams to miss "a couple weeks" with a high ankle sprain. The couple-week estimate might be a best-case scenario for Williams. The Skins' best option would probably be to kick RT Jamaal Brown over to the left side in the meantime, although they'll determine that on the practice field this week. Either way, it's going to cause a downgrade in pass protection.
