ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was out of the lineup Sunday, eliminating a likely in-game meeting with Andre Gurode three years after cleating the Cowboys center in the face.

Haynesworth was inactive for Sunday's game because of a sprained left ankle sustained last week that kept him out of practice, and was replaced in the starting lineup by Kedric Golston. Haynesworth was on the field before the game in a Redskins T-shirt, but didn't take part in any kind of pregame warmups.

It would have been the first time for Haynesworth and Gurode to go against each other in a regular-season game since a dirty play in October 2006. Gurode needed 30 stitches and was bothered by headaches and blurred vision after the 6-foot-6, 350-pound Haynesworth, then with Tennessee, kicked him and stomped on his helmetless face. But Gurode didn't miss a game and Haynesworth was suspended for five games - three games longer than anyone ever had been punished for on-field behavior in NFL history. (MORE)
