Dwayne Haskins fined $40K by Washington Football Team, no longer a captain

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team fined quarterback Dwayne Haskins and removed him from the role of team captain three days after he was photographed at an event with strippers while not wearing a mask, coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday.

Sources told ESPN that the fine was for $40,000.

"The biggest thing is we are holding him accountable and he's been punished and he accepted it," Rivera said. "As we go forward, that's the thing that we're looking for, is that if you make a mistake, you've got to step up and you have to take responsibility.
