Less than a day after Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins apologized for photos showing him partying maskless at a strip club, reports surfaced that he has been fined by the team and stripped of his captainship for the COVID-19 violation.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the demotion, which is a part of the internal punishment by the team. Haskins's teammates previously voted him as captain during camp. Washington announced on Tuesday that the incident would be handled internally.
Haskins was also fined $40,000—the largest known fine for a player for a COVID violation, according to Rapoport.
