League Reviewing Ref Incident Redskins The Washington Redskins and the NFL are reviewing an incident in which a game official allegedly directed profane words at left tackle Trent Williams. “You just can’t use that type of language to get your point across,” Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said. Williams said he was called vulgar names by official No. 81 — which was umpire Roy Ellison — during a Redskins possession late
in the second quarter of Sunday’s 24-16 loss to the Eagles. Other players said they heard the words, and a replay shows Ellison gesturing at Williams while walking backward just before a snap, with Williams, quarterback RobWilliams ert Griffin III and tight end Niles Paul turning to look back at Ellison. Shanahan said he has spoken
to the players involved. Some of the linemen were wearing microphones, which the league can use to review what happened. “I feel very strongly about words that were used to our players,” Shanahan said, “because you have a number of players that said they heard it. I’m disappointed in what had happened, but that’s probably all I can discuss at this point.” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the incident was “under review.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)
