DWAYNE HASKINS NEWS

Getting first start since Week 4 Haskins will start Sunday's game against Seattle, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After missing practice all week, Alex Smith (calf) was ruled out on the Friday injury report. Haskins is now set up for his first start since Week 4, following an uninspired performance filling in for the injured Smith during last week's 23-15 win over the 49ers. The 2019 first-round pick has completed only 60.8 percent of his passes for 6.3 YPA this season, with the same number of turnovers (five) as touchdowns.

Takes first-team reps Haskins directed the first-team offense at Wednesday's practice, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Meanwhile, Alex Smith watched individual drills in the wake of suffering a strained right calf in Sunday's win over the 49ers. Haskins took over for Smith late in the second quarter, but he didn't fare well thereafter, completing seven of 12 passes for 51 yards and compiling minus-12 yards on four carries. Washington seems to have some optimism that Smith will be able to start this weekend against the Seahawks, but Haskins is on hand for spot duty, if needed.

Struggles in relief duty Haskins completed seven of 12 pass attempts for 51 yards and lost 12 yards on four carries during Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.

Impact Haskins was called into action after Alex Smith (calf) suffered an injury in the second quarter. He completed just 58 percent of his passes and averaged just 4.3 yards per attempt with a long of just 13 yards. Smith's injury is not considered to be serious, so he should start next Sunday's game against the Seahawks, pushing Haskins back to the bench.
