Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said Friday that despite the team's decision to bench 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins earlier this week, the team still has faith in him.
"By no means have I given up on him," Rivera said of Haskins.
Earlier this week, Washington announced Kyle Allen will start at quarterback against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, instead of Haskins.
Allen joined Washington this offseason after starting 12 games for the Panthers last year. In 2019, Allen threw for 3,322 yards and 17 touchdowns with 16 interceptions. He was acquired in a trade in March in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
