The Washington Redskins will be without three of their five starting offensive linemen Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Redskins center Spencer Long (knee) Benardrick McKinney Jersey , guard Shaun Lauvao (stinger) and tackle Trent Williams (knee) are inactive for Sunday’s game. Washington also won’t have starting wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring), tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring) and defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis (hand). The Seahawks are down two key starters on defense with safety Earl Thomas and defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson out. Thomas had been ruled out due to a hamstring injury suffered last week. Richardson suffered an oblique injury in practice this week and was listed as questionable. Bradley McDougald will start in place of Thomas while rookie Nazair Jones is likely to start for Richardson. Two other Seahawks defensive starters listed as questionable – linebacker Bobby Wagner and safety Kam Chancellor – were both active and expected to start. Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali is active Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after spending all season on the physically unable to perform list to rehabilitate his ailing knees. Hali gives the Chiefs more depth with their pass rush with linebacker Dee Ford sidelined by a back injury. Hali practiced for the first time Thursday and was activated Saturday. Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston, among the top 10 in the NFL with 7 1/2 sacks, was active despite a knee issue. He was listed as questionable. Dallas running back Darren McFadden was inactive again after spending most of the week thinking he would get in a game for the first time this season because of Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension over alleged domestic violence. Elliott got his third legal reprieve Friday. In early-afternoon action, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette didn’t play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals for breaking a team rule. Other key inactives around the league included Eagles tight end Zach Ertz and Bengals running back Jeremy Hill. — KANSAS CITY AT DALLAS Chiefs: QB Tyler Bray, WR Albert Wilson, LB Ramik Wilson, LB Dee Ford, G Jordan Devey, OL Parker Ehinger, DL Jarvis Jenkins.

On Sunday, the Colts played a game that lasted the full 70 minutes, and they’ll play again on Thursday, at New England.Here’s the fact that should get the NFL’s attention, if the NFL truly cares about the physical burden on players who play on Sunday and who then must play again on Thursday. Two years ago, the Buccaneers participated in 32 extra snaps in an overtime that lasted a little over 13 minutes before playing on Thursday. The Colts participated in 34 extra snaps in a 10-minute overtime on Sunday.So what happens now? Does overtime get reduced to five minutes? Seven and a half? Does it become a field-goal kicking contest?The best solution continues to be, as we argued a couple of weeks ago, adopting the college system of putting the ball at the opponent’s 25 yard line, first and 10.Better yet, just put it at the 10. First and goal. To get to 30 snaps, more that three overtimes would be needed. To prevent that, make the teams go for two after a touchdown from the get-go, and not in the third overtime, as the NCAA requires.This would be similar to, but also sufficiently different from, college overtime. It also would ensure the same overtime procedures for both the regular season and the postseason, which should delight coaches who don’t want different rules when the playoffs arrive.So how about it, NFL? Revolutionize overtime in order to reduce the load on the players, and to ensure that there will always be a winner. Without that change, there will be more 70-minutes games, more teams playing on Thursday after playing in 70 minute games, and inevitably more ties.
