Signs with Steelers
Haskins signed a contract with the Steelers on Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This represents a fresh start for the 2019 first-rounder, who was released by the Washington Football Team this past December. With the signing of Haskins, Pryor notes that the Steelers "signal they're focusing on a future without Ben Roethlisberger -- either this year or soon after." The team's long-time QB has one year left on his deal, but his 2021 status has yet to be cemented. With Josh Dobbs set to become a free agent this offseason, Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph and Haskins are the…read more

Expected to join Steelers
The Steelers are reportedly poised to sign Haskins, according to Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com.
Analysis: Per the report, the 2019 first-rounder, who was let go by Washington in December, is meeting with Pittsburgh's coaches, and "if all goes well, a deal will be hammered out." The team currently has Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph under contract for the 2021 campaign, and adding Haskins to the mix would give the Steelers a player with some upside to develop behind the 38-year-old Roethlisberger, who's tentatively expected back next season.

Will visit Carolina
Haskins will visit the Panthers on Monday, independent NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.
Analysis: Haskins was cut loose by Washington after playing the past two seasons with the team. The exploratory visit could potentially turn into a signing for the quarterback, who completed 60.1 percent of his 444 passes for 2,804 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions during his time in Washington.

Goes unclaimed on waivers
Haskins passed through waivers unclaimed Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Haskins had a tumultuous first two seasons as a professional, with most of his issues being self-inflicted. In a 16-game sample on the field with Washington -- including 13 starts -- he completed 60.1 percent of his 444 passes for 2,804 yards (6.3 YPA), 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Haskins also didn't contribute much on the ground (40 carries for 147 yards and one TD) and lost five of his 12 fumbles. While he's unlikely to get a chance with another NFL team right away so late in the…read more

Cut loose by Washington
The Football Team waived Haskins on Monday.
Analysis: The writing seemed to be on the wall after Haskins' poor performance during Sunday's loss to the Panthers (154 passing yards, three turnovers) led to his being demoted to the No. 3 role for a second time this season, but it's nonetheless surprising to see a first-round pick receive such a short tenure. Just 20 months ago, Washington selected the Ohio State product 15th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Haskins has started 16 games in his career, a sample size equivalent to a full season. In that…read more

Back to third-string gig
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Taylor Heinicke, rather than Haskins, would start Week 17 if Alex Smith (calf) remains sidelined, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Rivera pulled Haskins during Washington's final two drives of last Sunday's loss to Carolina, at which point the 2019 first-round pick had three turnovers, no touchdowns and only 154 passing yards. Heinicke managed to spark a bit of life into the Football Team's offense in limited action, throwing for 137 yards and a touchdown while avoiding any interceptions. A combination of off-field issues and lackluster play appears to have lost Haskins the trust of his coaching staff, and it seems…read more

Pulled in fourth quarter
Haskins completed 14 of 28 pass attempts for 154 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 16 against the Panthers.
Analysis: Haskins was pulled midway through the fourth quarter, as Washington desperately tried to recover from a 20-6 deficit. As could be implied from the score, Haskins struggled to get the offense moving. He also had three turnovers, one of which led directly to a touchdown for the Panthers. With the NFC East title on the line in a Week 17 matchup against Eagles, it seems unlikely that Haskins will be under center.

Another spot start
Haskins will serve as Washington's starting quarterback Sunday versus the Panthers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: During a week in which Haskins faced scrutiny for attending a nightclub in violation of COVID-19 protocols, Haskins will get another chance to lead the Football Team's offense with Alex Smith dealing with a strained right calf. Smith himself isn't active, allowing Haskins to face a Carolina defense that ranks 18th against the pass (239.7 yards per game).

Slated to start Sunday
Washington will start Haskins at quarterback Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Football Team had been hopeful that Alex Smith would be ready to return from a one-game absence after he practiced fully Friday, but the signal-caller's strained calf is apparently still preventing him from doing everything he needs to do to run the offense effectively. As a result, Haskins will pick up his second start in a row, with the Football Team expected to make Smith inactive while having Taylor Heinicke and Steven Montez dress as backup options, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington…read more

Trending toward Week 16 start
Haskins appears to be the leading candidate to start at quarterback Sunday against the Panthers, as Washington continues to have concern that top signal-caller Alex Smith (calf) -- who is listed as questionable -- won't be able to do "everything he needs to do to be effective," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After starting in place of Smith in last week's loss to the 49ers, Haskins found in himself in the midst of controversy after he violated the NFL's COVID-19 protocols when he was spotted at a nightclub without wearing a mask, but he avoided a suspension and was instead subjected to a $40,000 fine and stripped of his team captaincy. Haskins continued to take the starter's reps at practice through Thursday before Smith returned to full participation Friday and resumed taking most of the reps with…read more

May still start Sunday
Haskins' position mate Alex Smith (calf) took most of the reps with the first-team offense Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: After logging limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, Smith increased his activity level enough Friday to be considered a full participant. That said, coach Ron Rivera will wait to see how Smith's balky right calf feels Saturday before making a decision about Washington's starting quarterback for Week 16. Prior to Friday's session, Haskins worked with the first-teamers in preparation to start if called upon, and the fact Smith's status remains in question means the second-year…read more

Works again with first-team offense
Haskins handled first-team reps for a second consecutive practice Thursday, Julie Donaldson of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: At the same time, Alex Smith (calf) increased his activity level, progressing from throwing with the training staff on the side Wednesday to doing the same with receivers during individual drills one day later. Considering where the respective quarterbacks stand at the moment, Adam Schefter of ESPN speculated that Haskins is trending toward the start under center Sunday against the Panthers.

Haskins took first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: According to Jhabvala, Washington and the NFL drew up a plan for Haskins to take part in practice while also joining his teammates in Zoom meetings after he broke COVID-19 protocols this weekend when social media posts showed him partying at a club without a mask. Meanwhile, Alex Smith (calf) didn't take part in the team stretch Wednesday, instead throwing passes on the side, per Jhabvala.

Won't be cut after violation
Washington has no plans to release Haskins after he violated the NFL's COVID-19 protocol Sunday, when he was spotted at a nightclub without wearing a mask, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Photographs of Haskins partying at the club first surfaced on social media Monday, one day after he started in place of the injured Alex Smith (calf) in the Football Team's loss to the Seahawks. Haskins apologized for his actions Tuesday, but Washington is continuing to work with the NFL in determining a punishment for the 23-year-old, which could range from a maximum fine of one week's salary or up to a four-game suspension, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Mistake-prone in spot start
Haskins completed 38 of 55 passes for 295 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 28 yards.
Analysis: Haskins expressed confidence early in the week that he'd be a more collected presence under center after having the opportunity to observe veteran Alex Smith (calf) over several weeks. However, the second-year signal-caller's performance was reminiscent of some the rollercoaster efforts that earned him a demotion earlier in the campaign, with Haskins short-circuiting two drives in Seahawks territory with his pair of interceptions. Additionally, he had to jump on his own fumble to prevent a…read more

Getting first start since Week 4
Washington named Haskins as its starting quarterback for Sunday's game against Seattle, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: After missing practice all week, Alex Smith (calf) was ruled out Friday. Haskins is now set up for his first start since Week 4, following an uninspired performance filling in for the injured Smith during last week's 23-15 win over the 49ers. The 2019 first-round pick has completed only 60.8 percent of his passes for 6.3 yards per attempt this season, with the same number of turnovers (five) as touchdowns.

Takes first-team reps
Haskins directed the first-team offense at Wednesday's practice, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Alex Smith watched individual drills in the wake of suffering a strained right calf in Sunday's win over the 49ers. Haskins took over for Smith late in the second quarter, but he didn't fare well thereafter, completing seven of 12 passes for 51 yards and compiling minus-12 yards on four carries. Washington seems to have some optimism that Smith will be able to start this weekend against the Seahawks, but Haskins is on hand for spot duty, if needed.

Struggles in relief duty
Haskins completed seven of 12 pass attempts for 51 yards and lost 12 yards on four carries during Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Haskins was called into action after Alex Smith (calf) suffered an injury in the second quarter. He completed just 58 percent of his passes and averaged just 4.3 yards per attempt with a long of just 13 yards. Smith's injury is not considered to be serious, so he should start next Sunday's game against the Seahawks, pushing Haskins back to the bench.

Still relegated to backup duties
Coach Ron Rivera confirmed Monday that Haskins is not being considered as a potential starter in place of Kyle Allen (ankle), Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Rivera said that it could benefit Haskins to "truly see how to prepare as a starter" by learning behind Alex Smith, who took over under center after Allen suffered a potentially season-ending dislocated ankle during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants. He did hint that the Haskins "may get his opportunity again," but for at least Week 10's upcoming matchup against Detroit, it doesn't appear that there will be any sort of competition between the 2019 first-round pick and Smith.

Healthy scratch against Giants
Haskins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
Analysis: With the team unable to move the sophomore signal-caller by the Nov. 3 trade deadline, Haskins has been relegated to the No. 3 seat in the QB room and tagged a healthy scratch for Sunday's NFC East tilt. It's been a quick fall from grace for the 2019 first-round draft choice, who opened 2020 as Washington's starting quarterback but now sits behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith on gameday.

Having said that, Washington will keep Haskins in street clothes with Kyle Allen starting and Alex Smith serving as the team's backup quarterback. Haskins was away from the team most of the last week due to a gastrointestinal illness, so his ability to throw Sunday indicates he's at least in good health.

Analysis: The 23-year-old has been away from the team all week while dealing with gastrointestinal issues, but he's apparently feeling better since he's back at the team facility. It's unclear if Haskins will be able to practice immediately upon his return, but he's unlikely to see the field regardless since being moved to Washington's No. 3 quarterback behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith.

To visit doctor for illness
Haskins, who didn't practice Thursday, is expected to see a doctor for his ongoing illness, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Haskins only visited Washington's facility Thursday to undergo COVID-19 testing before he was sent home by the team. The aforementioned illness sidelined him this past Sunday versus the Rams and seems to be placing his status for Week 6 against the Giants in question. Still, as the team's No. 3 quarterback behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith, Haskins isn't in consideration to get on the field any time soon.

He'll still make a trip to the facility for his regular COVID test but will then return home afterwards.

Cleans up mistakes
Haskins completed 32 of 45 pass attempts for 314 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 4 against Baltimore. He added three rushes for three yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Analysis: Haskins' 45 attempts were a career high, and he also managed a season-best 7.0 yards per attempt. While he eliminated turnovers -- he had no interceptions or fumbles lost -- he also failed to lead the Washington offense down the field for much of the game. His lone trip to the end zone came with 2:05 left in the fourth quarter when he scored on a rushing attempt from one yard out.

Starting job on notice
Haskins retains Washington's starting quarterback job heading into Sunday's game against the Ravens, but he could surrender the gig to backup Kyle Allen if he struggles in the Week 4 contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Haskins was a first-round draft pick just one year ago, a new coaching staff led by Ron Rivera apparently isn't yet convinced the 23-year-old is the team's long-term answer behind center. After finishing out his rookie season on a relatively positive note, Haskins hasn't carried over that success to 2020, with the signal-caller completing just 56.4 percent of his throws for 6.2 yards per attempt and a 4:3 TD:INT while taking 10 sacks in three games.

Haskins completed 21 of 37 pass attempts for 224 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 3 against Cleveland. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Haskins got the Washington offense going early, connecting with Dontrelle Inman for a 17-yard touchdown to cap their second drive of the game. However, he was intercepted on two of the team's next three offensive possessions. He committed two more turnovers in the fourth quarter, sinking any chance for a comeback victory. Despite these inconsistencies, coach Ron Rivera said after the game that the team would stick with Haskins for their Week 4 matchup against the Ravens.

Quiet day against Cards
Haskins completed 19 of 33 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown while rushing for eight yards on one carry in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Washington was down by 14 points by the end of the first quarter and 20-0 at the half, but Haskins wasn't able to engineer a comeback win for the second straight week. The second-year QB continues to show great chemistry with Terry McLaurin, but none of his other targets were able to make a significant impact. Haskins may need to get other players involved on the road in Week 3 if he's going to keep pace with a Browns offense that just erupted for 35 points against the Bengals.

Haskins completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 178 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles. He also gained 17 yards on seven carries.
Analysis: Haskins completed just 55 percent of his passes and averaged 5.7 yards per attempt against a middling Eagles secondary. He took three sacks on the day but managed to avoid turning the ball over and completed a six-yard touchdown pass to Logan Thomas to begin his team's comeback in the second quarter. It was a better real-life performance for Haskins than it was for fantasy purposes, and he doesn't seem likely to produce big fantasy numbers next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Haskins was always expected to emerge from training camp as Washington's starter, but now that he no longer has to compete for a job, the 2019 first-round pick can turn his attention to preparing for his Week 1 start. His fantasy upside in 2020, however, is tied to the development of a pass-catching corps that remains a work in progress.

Of course, there's no exhibition schedule in 2020, with teams instead jumping right from practice to the regular season.

The unusual circumstances of 2020 present Haskins with the added challenge of a shortened offseason and no preseason games, but he said the reads and concepts in Turner's offense are the same as what he learned from Jay Gruden last year, only with simpler terminology now that the team isn't using a West Coast system.

Haskins (ankle) is down to 218 pounds, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

He's still listed at 230 on the team website, which presumably will be updated once players report for practice. A 5.04-second 40-yard dash suggests Haskins is unlikely to ever become a major rushing threat, but the weight loss could help him add a bit more beyond last season's 20 carries for 101 yards.

Facing competition from Allen
Coach Ron Rivera believes Haskins (ankle) will be Washington's starting quarterback but also said the 22-year-old will need to compete for the job, Kyle Stackpole of the Redskins' official site reports.
Analysis: The team recently traded a fifth-round draft pick for Kyle Allen, whose quarterbacks coach from Carolina, Scott Turner, now serves as offensive coordinator in Washington. A competition between Haskins and Allen might be seen as a decision between bad and worse, but there's still time to add another body before training camp, and there's even some chance of Alex Smith (leg) attempting a comeback from his devastating injury.

Seems set to start 2020
Senior vice president of player development Doug Williams reinforced the notion Haskins would enter 2020 as the starter, Adam Maya of NFL.com reports. "The new staff knows that Dwayne Haskins is the starting quarterback here. The only thing that can happen is for Dwayne to give it back to them."
Analysis: It's an interesting choice of words by Williams considering new head coach Ron Rivera didn't openly commit to Haskins as the starter when asked in early January, according to ESPN.com's John Keim. While there remains the possibility veteran option Alex Smith could return to the field following a nearly two-year absence from a gruesome leg injury, or the likes of another veteran quarterback joining the roster in the offseason, the 2019 first-round pick is likely all but assured the starting job…read more

No commitment yet from Rivera
New coach Ron Rivera wouldn't commit to Haskins as the Redskins' starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2020 campaign, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to have to step up and become a leader," Rivera said Tuesday. "All the great ones have become leaders and they've become leaders whether they're rookies or they're 10-, 12-year vets."
Analysis: Haskins took his time easing into the NFL but finished well down the stretch of his rookie season, tossing five touchdowns versus one interception in his last three starts. In nine appearances overall, he completed 59 percent of his passes, averaged 6.7 yards per attempt and had a 7:7 TD:INT. Haskins is one of two Washington signal-callers under contract for 2020 -- the other is Alex Smith, who remains in recovery mode from his devastating 2018 leg injury -- but Rivera didn't hesitate to…read more

Hoping to stick with OC O'Connell
Haskins (ankle) hopes the Redskins retain offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Analysis: O'Connell had an awkward first season in the OC role, guiding a pass-happy offense for Jay Gruden before shifting to a run-heavy approach under interim coach Bill Callahan. Neither plan proved effective, but the offense eventually enjoyed a modest degree of success, averaging 24.4 points and 321.6 yards per game over the final five contests. Haskins' improvements with accuracy and decision-making played a big part in the respectable December showing, though he missed the final game and half…read more

Sidelined for finale
Interim coach Bill Callahan said Monday that Haskins (ankle) has been ruled out for the Redskins' Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys, Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Per Les Carpenter of The Washington Post, Callahan said that Haskins' high-ankle sprain likely will require around two weeks of recovery time, so the 3-12 Redskins won't push the rookie to play through the pain in the season finale. Haskins' overall numbers in his nine appearances weren't eye-popping -- 7:7 TD:INT, 58.6 percent completion rate, 6.7 YPA -- but he at least closed out his inaugural season on a high note with a 5:1 TD:INT, 63.2 percent rate and 7.5 YPA over his final four starts.…read more

Tending to high-ankle sprain
The Redskins believe that Haskins sustained a left high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 41-35 overtime loss to the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Before Case Keenum replaced him after he sustained the injury on the Redskins' first third-quarter possession, Haskins completed 12 of 15 attempts for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Washington will await the results of an MRI on Monday as well as additional tests before Haskins' status for the Week 17 game against the Cowboys is determined, but it's quite likely the 22-year-old's rookie season is over. Keenum presumably will draw the start in the regular-season finale and Colt McCoy will slide…read more

Status murky moving forward
Interim coach Bill Callahan said Haskins (ankle) wasn't physically able to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: On the first play from scrimmage of the third quarter, Haskins' left ankle was twisted up during a Markus Golden sack. Haskins exhibited a significant limp while walking to the sidelines and eventually the locker room. Initially, he was termed questionable to return but was downgraded to doubtful at a certain point. Callahan's comments hint at a significant injury, but an MRI and/or X-ray ultimately will reveal the nature and extent of the issue.

Injures ankle Sunday
Haskins sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest against the Giants, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Haskins was sacked by New York's Markus Golden on the first play from scrimmage of the second half, getting his left ankle twisted up in the process, per Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington. While going to the sidelines and eventually the locker room, Haskins walked with a significant limp. If he's unable to return, he'll finish the day with 133 yards and two touchdowns on 12-for-15 passing. Case Keenum will direct the Redskins offense in Haskins' stead.

Two TDs not enough in loss
Haskins completed 19 of 28 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles. He also rushed four times for 26 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Haskins linked up with Terry McLaurin for a 75-yard touchdown in the first quarter before adding a five-yard touchdown to Steven Sims in the second. This game was closer than the final score suggests, as Washington led 27-24 with under five minutes remaining. Haskins got his team across the 50 after Philadelphia took a 31-27 lead, but he fumbled on the final play of the game and it was returned for a touchdown. The rookie quarterback will be looking for redemption against the Giants in Week 16…read more

Full participant Wednesday
Haskins (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday.
Analysis: After limping around at times during the Redskins' Week 14 loss in Green Bay, Haskins was diagnosed with a "very mild" ankle sprain, as interim coach Bill Callahan described it to John Keim of ESPN.com. The injury didn't affect Haskins' practice reps Wednesday as he began preparation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, who have given up the 11th-most passing touchdowns (22) to quarterbacks in 13 contests this season.

Has 'mild' ankle sprain
Interim coach Bill Callahan said Wednesday that Haskins is dealing with a "very mild" ankle sprain, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: During the Redskins' Week 14 loss at Green Bay, Haskins played with the occasional limp from the second quarter onward but still managed to take the field for all 65 offensive snaps. By game's end, he completed 16 of 27 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Haskins may have started Week 15 prep with some practice limitations, but Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not the team placed a cap on his reps.

Solid performance in loss
Haskins completed 16 of 27 passes for 170 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Redskins' 20-15 loss to the Packers. He also lost a yard on his sole rush.
Analysis: Haskins was guilty of just one turnover but still had trouble consistently moving the ball down the field, even as his defense did an admirable job cooling off the Packers after their hot start. Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site reports Haskins dealt with a leg injury during the first half and noticeably limped during most of the second quarter, but there was never a consideration to take him out of the contest. The issue also seemed to improve in the second half, and the rookie's…read more

Struggles in win over Panthers
Haskins completed 13 of 25 pass attempts for 147 yards and gained six yards on four carries during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers. He also committed two fumbles, but both were recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Haskins completed a lackluster 52 percent of his passes while averaging 5.9 yards per attempt. He also took five sacks while completing just two passes longer than 15 yards. Haskins did avoid turning the ball over -- despite a pair of fumbles -- and allowed the rushing attack to propel his team to a victory. He'll look to improve on this performance next Sunday against the Packers.

Puts in full practice
Haskins (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Haskins played through what interim coach Bill Callahan called a slight wrist injury during Sunday's win over the Lions, but it didn't prevent the rookie from taking every rep in the Redskins' first practice of Week 13. While Haskins looks like he'll be in the clear for this weekend's matchup with the Panthers, it bears noting that playing through an injury to his throwing hand could continue to impact the quarterback's accuracy. He's only completed 54.6 percent of his attempts and has thrown…read more

Tending to wrist injury
Interim coach Bill Callahan said Haskins is tending to a "slight wrist injury" in the aftermath of Sunday's 19-16 win over the Lions, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Callahan suggested Haskins' injury was likely just a bruise, so at this stage, the rookie doesn't look to be in any major danger of missing the Week 13 matchup with the Panthers. When he met with the media shortly after leading Washington to his first career win as a starter, Haskins acknowledged that the wrist contributed to his struggles throwing the football in the contest, per Kyle Stackpole of the Redskins' official site. Haskins completed only 13 of 29 attempts for 156 yards, no…read more

Shaky in first career win
Haskins completed 13 of 29 passes for 156 yards and an interception during Sunday's 19-16 win over Detroit. He added 28 yards on three carries and lost a fumble during the contest. After the game, Haskins attributed his poor accuracy to a dinged-up wrist, Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington reports.
Analysis: It was a sloppy day for both offenses in a game in which Washington's only touchdown came on a kick return. Haskins delivered down the stretch to earn the win, though, leading field-goal drives during Washington's final two possessions, setting up the second with a 17-yard third-down strike to Terry McLaurin in the final seconds of the ballgame. Sunday brings a matchup against a solid Carolina pass defense, and -- even if his wrist heals up -- Haskins should probably stay out of your lineup.…read more

Absorbs six sacks in Week 11 loss
Haskins completed 19 of 35 pass attempts during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets, while accounting for 214 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also ran for five yards on four carries and fumbled twice, though neither loose ball was recovered by New York.
Analysis: The rookie signal-caller put forth his best pro performance against the Jets' bottom-10 pass defense, leading his team to two fourth-quarter scoring drives and snapping a streak of 19 consecutive quarters without a Redskins touchdown. Haskins may be able to settle into a rhythm and provide some late-season utility in fantasy, especially with Washington expected to be trailing in a high percentage of games and thus forced to throw the ball with greater frequency. The chief obstacle to Haskins'…read more

Named starter for rest of season
Coach Bill Callahan confirmed Monday that Haskins is slated to remain Washington's starting QB for the rest of the season, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic, Case Keenum will serve as Haskins' top backup, with Colt McCoy slotting in as the team's No. 3 signal-caller. With Washington 1-8, it makes sense for the team to see what the No. 15 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft can bring to the table over an extended period of playing time, beginning with a home matchup versus the 2-7 Jets on Sunday.

Likely starter after bye week
Haskins is expected to retain the Redskins' starting quarterback job following the team's Week 10 bye, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Haskins fared modestly in his first career start Sunday at Buffalo in a losing effort, completing 15 of 22 passes for 144 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while turning three carries into 14 yards. Afterward, interim head coach Bill Callahan wouldn't commit to the rookie signal-caller for Washington's next game Nov. 17 against the Jets. While Callahan has plenty of time to name the the lead quarterback for that game, Haskins seems to have a leg up on Case Keenum (concussion) and Colt…read more

TD drought persists in Week 9
Haskins completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 144 yards and ran for 14 yards on three carries during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: The rookie's completion rate of 68.1 percent against Buffalo's stout defense provides some reason for optimism, but regardless, Haskins owns a 0:4 TD:INT and is yet to lead a touchdown-yielding drive on 21 possessions this season. Interim coach Bill Callahan was non-committal to the rookie signal-caller postgame Sunday, as he left the door open for Case Keenum (concussion) to get the start against the Jets following Washington's Week 10 bye. Whether it be Haskins or Keenum who gets the nod, the…read more

No commitment from Callahan
Interim coach Bill Callahan wouldn't commit to Haskins as the Redskins' starting quarterback after Sunday's 24-9 loss at Buffalo, Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington reports.
Analysis: After back-to-back punts on the team's first two possessions, Haskins directed the Redskins to field goals on their final two drives of the first half. It was a different story after intermission, when the offense went punt, field goal, punt, punt and turnover on downs to conclude the game. Haskins himself was modest in his first NFL start, completing 15 of 22 passes for 144 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while taking three carries for 14 yards.
