Dwayne Haskins will be Washington Football Team’s starting quarterback when the Philadelphia Eagles travel down to FedEx Field in Week 1. Head coach Ron Rivera confirmed as much on Wednesday.
Haskins was the favorite to start all along but there was an outside chance that Washington would go with Alex Smith, who has made a remarkable recovery, or Kyle Allen.
Haskins did not fare very well as a rookie. The Ohio State alumnus went just 2-5 in seven starts. He only completed 58.6% of his attempts for 6.
