Haskins will be Washington's Week 1 starting quarterback

Coach Ron Rivera on Wednesday announced Dwayne Haskins will be Washington’s starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s not a surprising development but a confirmation that the 2019 first-round pick did enough to earn the job under Rivera’s new regime. Haskins got the nod over Kyle Allen, whom Rivera knew well from his time with Carolina, and veteran Alex Smith, who’s less than two years removed from breaking his right leg.
