ASHBURN, Va. -- Trent Williams four-game absence is a substantial blow to the Washington Redskins playoff hopes, but a loss they are confident they can overcome.The Pro Bowl left tackle is out the next four games for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, meaning well-traveled 31-year-old Ty Nsekhe moves into the starting lineup. Nsekhes ability is respected, but theres no doubt it hurts the Redskins to be without Williams against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.Definitely one of our leaders, definitely one of the staple cornerstones on that offensive line, cornerback Josh Norman said Monday. Losing a guy like that is kind of hard to replace, but we will because weve got guys here that are formidable to do a job (and can) come in and perform admirably.Williams is able to take part in meetings but not practice or attend games during his suspension, which is up Dec. 5. He was not made available to address reporters as the Redskins returned from their bye week, and coach Jay Gruden said the specifics of his conversation with Williams will remain private.We stand behind Trent, and we know that hes going to be a big help for us when he becomes eligible, Gruden said. You hate to lose a player of that magnitude any way, shape or form. Its going to have an effect on our football team.It could be a domino effect, especially with right tackle Morgan Moses battling a sprained ankle. Moses reported feeling good after resting during the bye week, but theres little margin for error with Williams out and Nsekhe starting on the left side.As for the immediate task of filling in for Williams, Gruden expressed confidence in Nsekhe, who started twice last season and has seen action in spurts this year. Nsekhe said his preparation doesnt change at all despite getting the first-team snaps at left tackle, but playing doesnt hurt.Of course the experience is a tremendous thing, Nsekhe said. Theres nothing that you can simulate in practice or anything like that. Ive been here before, so hopefully I can build on what Ive already done.Moses worked out on a side field during the part of practice open to reporters. Despite Moses optimism, Gruden wasnt ready to say hell be ready to face the Vikings.Hes still sore, but I think in time hopefully the swelling will go down and hell be ready to go, Gruden said. Hes a tough guy and played through worse injuries, but you never know. Weve just got to do the best we can and get him as much rehab as we can and see how hes feeling come Wednesday.With so much uncertainty, the Redskins signed tackle Blaine Clausell, a 2015 undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State, off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. Clausell also spent time on the New England Patriots practice squad.But neither Nsekhe, Moses and Clausell can be a perfect replacement for Williams, one of the Redskins top players. This is his second four-game drug suspension after serving one in 2011, but Gruden said this does not affect Williams status as a leader.Moses said he has already talked to Williams about preparing for the Vikings. The Redskins will continue to lean on Williams as much as they can during the suspension while also realizing they have to help him, too.Its just not a leader or a captain were losing. Were losing a hell of a football player, as well, Moses said. Hes still going to be here to be able to help us and hes still part of this team. Its our job as his teammates and friends to stick with him through this tough little time and well get him back.Game notes The team placed TE Niles Paul on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Gruden said external options will be considered, as Paul was also Washingtons fullback and a special teams ace. ...

LOUIS -- St. HOUSTON -- DeAndre Hopkins holdout has yet to change the perspective of Texans general manager Rick Smith, who says the club has made a firm decision not to negotiate with the wide receiver this season.Hopkins, who is entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, did not report to the start of Houstons training camp on Sunday. Hopkins is subject to fines of $40,000 for each day of camp he misses, and Smith confirmed that Hopkins is being fined for his absence.His actions are counterintuitive to any of the productive energy that is necessary for anything to get done, Smith said following the teams first training camp practice on Sunday morning.There are any number of factors that go into when or whether or not to extend a contract, Smith added. [Hopkins representatives] came to us this summer and talked to us about that. We contemplated and came to a decision and we communicated that decision to them, and told them it was a firm decision.Smith said the team was surprised by Hopkins choice to hold out.I didnt expect him to hold out, Smith said. It was a bit of a surprise. Hes made his point, and hopefully hell be back in camp soon. Hes under contract, so there isnt anything to get done other than him coming here.Hopkins was a first-round pick by Houston in 2013. The Texans extended their first-round picks in 2011 and 2012, J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, as they entered their fourth seasons.We decided that this was not the right time for a number of reasons, Smith said of the teams decision not to give Hopkins an extension this year.Because the Texans picked up the fifth-year option on Hopkins contract in May, he has two seasons remaining on his deal. Hopkins also has a $445,000 roster bonus due on the fifth day of camp that he will miss out on if he hasnt returned.Smith said Sunday that the team remains in communication with Hopkins and is hopeful of his return.Were in constant communication, Smith said of his current reelationship with Hopkins.dddddddddddd. I never negotiate in the media, and were not in a negotiation, and our conversations Ill keep between us. But its positive dialogue, and like I said, hes expressed himself. Weve been clear with him with respect to our position as well, and hopefully hell be in pretty soon.New starting quarterback Brock Osweiler said Sunday that he also continues to talk with Hopkins, his expected top receiver. Hopkins had 111 catches, 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns during the 2015 season while working with four different quarterbacks in Houston.DeAndre and I are definitely having communication among each other, Osweiler said. First of all, hes a great friend and a great teammate. Im going to be there to support him, but he has to handle his business with the team, and I need to focus on the guys that are here and ready to work.But certainly I support DeAndre, and whatever he has to do. And thats his business, between him and the team.Watt, who is currently on Houstons physically unable to perform list as he recovers from recent back surgery, said he understands Hopkins position.Im a player, so I advocate for players getting paid, Watt said on Sunday. If I was in the front office, Im sure my answer would be different. But Im a player, and I know that a career is short. And if he feels this is what he needs to do, then this is what he needs to do.Second-year receiver Jaelen Strong, rookie Will Fuller and veteran slot receiver Cecil Shorts received the majority of repetitions on Sunday with Osweiler and the first-team offense.We respect DeAndre and his abilities and his contributions to our football team, and his future contributions to our football team, Smith said. But hes not here.Were here, were working, and our football team had a good day today. Thats where our focus is.
