Dwayne Haskins' rough day in loss leaves his Washington future in doubt
LANDOVER, Md., -- Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. could have redeemed himself after a difficult week. Instead, he might have sealed his fate in Washington in a 20-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. And the one point that's become clear is this: They need Alex Smith to return.
Washington (6-9) can still clinch the NFC East by winning at Philadelphia in the season finale.
But it’s hard to imagine that happening unless Smith can return from a strained right calf. At least not based on Haskins' past two starts.
During a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Haskins was asked if he viewed this as a last chance. He said, "Yeah."
If that’s the case, he did not help himself.
