Report: Washington Football Team To Start Kyle Allen at QB, Dwayne Haskins Benched

The Washington Football Team plans on starting Kyle Allen at quarterback against the Los Angeles Rams instead of Dwayne Haskins, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Allen has been the backup quarterback over Alex Smith on the depth chart since Smith is coming back from a gruesome leg injury that nearly ended his career in 2018. He suffered a broken tibia that led to 17 surgeries. Smith will be Allen's backup, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

Haskins threw for three interceptions in a loss against the Cleveland Browns on Sept.
