ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins lost left tackle Trent Williams at a bad time, with a tough upcoming schedule as the playoff race begins in earnest. His four-game suspension robbed the Redskins of a four-time Pro Bowler and team captain.The NFL suspended Williams last week for violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy. Its the second time hes been suspended in his career, the first occurring in 2011. But he had passed enough tests in the interim that his latest suspension wasnt longer.Losing four games might cost him a fifth straight Pro Bowl berth; it wont alter his status as a team leader, the Redskins said Monday.No, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said when asked if it impacted Williams status as a leader. People can take it in a lot of different ways, but Trents done a lot for this team, for this franchise and hes done a lot for the young guys in this building.... So it doesnt have any effect whatsoever on his captain [status] in my mind.Williams also has been voted a team captain for several years. On Monday, teammates stood by him, and his leadership, and said he should remain a captain when he returns. Center Spencer Long said there were multiple reasons why Williams deserved to remain a leader.His play on the field, the way he treats his guys, Long said. Hes a good teammate. Obviously this was not a great thing to have happen, but when you go out there and you trust a guy like that on the field with what he can do... that wont be broken over this. It was a mistake, but obviously the stuff that happens out [on the field] is way more meaningful and will last longer than something like this.Its a mistake, but it wont change our relationship with him. The bond is too deep for that.Williams was at the facility Monday, talking about Sundays opponent, Minnesota, with other linemen. The Redskins declined to make Williams available to the media.As a young offensive lineman on the team, you look up to him and you see him do things, Redskins right tackle Morgan Moses said. Being able to work with him the last couple years has been big, not just a leader and a captain, were losing a hell of a player as well.Hell still be here to help us and hes still a part of this team. Its our job as teammates and friends to stick with him through this tough little time.Ty Nsekhe will replace Williams and start his third career game. The 31-year-old Nsekhe started his career in Arena League 2 with Corpus Christi. Hes played for four Arena League teams and in the Canadian Football League. Of his 286 career snaps, 278 have come in the last two seasons with Washington.The Redskins say theyre confident in him. But they also lament losing Williams.I mean, it sucked, Redskins corner Josh Norman said. Hes definitely one of the leaders and one of the cornerstones on that line. Hes hard to replace, but we will. Well wait for the big fella to come back and work with us. Well invite him in like hes one of the brothers and keep this thing rolling. Ozzie Newsome Jersey .

I believe the impact of this plan would see Fiji win the World Cup one day, said Ben Ryan, the English coach who led his adopted country to the Olympic sevens gold medal this year.We have shown in sevens what we can do and if you just look at the impact the Fiji players are having on the tier one countries, they are their star players in New Zealand, Australia, England and France. We could make them the best club side in the world. Imagine the talent we have got in France? They would all be on the first flight back. Ben Ryan on the possibility of a Fijian Super Rugby team Ryan said in future it was vital to keep the top players in the Pacific Islands.It is not pie in the sky, he added. Pick a world XV from the players that are playing outside Fiji and Samoa in the other international teams and you would get a team that is there or thereabouts.Some of the worlds largest companies with links to the Pacific Islands are supporting the plan, giving the potential new franchise more money than any other Super Rugby teamm.dddddddddddd England vs Fiji November 19, 2016, 2:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass We could make them the best club side in the world.
