Washington QB Dwayne Haskins has been benched in favor of Taylor Heinicke

Haskins had a miserable first half with a pair of interceptions and his second half didn’t go much better. He finished 14/28 for 154 yards, two interceptions and was sacked twice and lost a fumble. Washington is limping to the finish line and are now looking at a must-win game against Philadelphia in Week 17. Such a perfect way to end the NFC East season.

The Washington Football Team is aware of social media posts showing QB Dwayne Haskins partying maskless in a strip club, was in contact with the NFL yesterday about the matter and is handling the matter internally, I’m told.

Pelissero went on to say in another tweet Washington has no plans to release Haskins, who was fined for a previous COVID-19 protocol violation. Going to a nightclub without PPE is considered “High Risk COVID-19 Conduct,” punishable by a maximum fine of one week’s salary or up to four-game suspension, Pelissero went on to say. Washington plays a key game against Carolina this week, but it's possible Haskins is punished by the team or even placed on the COVID list if they think he is at risk. Smith is recovering from a calf injury, but given the importance of the game, may be forced back into action as Washington has a chance to win the NFC East.

HC Pete Carroll says Greg Olsen is "moving around terrifically.''

The tweet said Olsen's recovery is going well for his foot injury. Condotta went on to say it seems like Olsen has a chance to get back before end of regular season. Dissly and Hollister combined for a 7-48-0 line in Week 13 against the Giants but it's likely Olsen won't suck up all production and it will continue to be more of a committee at the position.
