Starting in Week 2 Heinicke will start Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Heinicke filled in for Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) in Sunday's season opener and completed 11 of 15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. Fitzpatrick will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, but he's at least expected to miss the Week 2 contest because Washington will be playing on a short week. Kyle Allen is slated to serve as Heinicke's primary backup against the Giants.

Excellent in relief Heinicke completed 11 of 15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown after coming in for an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Fitzpatrick was injured after a hard tackle by the Chargers, forcing Heinicke to enter during the second quarter. It took until the third quarter for the 28-year-old to finally gain some rhythm, and while the majority of his production came on a fluky underthrown deep ball to Terry McLaurin that a Chargers defender simply misplayed, it was still a relatively controlled and effective performance from Heinicke. If Fitzpatrick misses time, expect to see the former Panthers backup starting games for Washington, especially after excelling in a similar situation in last season's playoff loss to Tampa Bay.

'FitzMagic' part 9: Fitzpatrick takes reins as Washington QB
Ryan Fitzpatrick says he did not need the public declaration from Ron Rivera that he's Washington starting quarterbackSEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not playing Saturday Heinicke will not play Saturday against the Ravens, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Both Heinicke and Ryan Fitzpatrick will be held out Saturday, leaving the final preseason contest to be helmed by Kyle Allen and Steven Montez. Allen was rumored to be pushing Heinicke for the backup spot after a solid preseason, but if this is any indication it seems like the Panthers transplant is clearly behind Heinicke on the team's depth chart.

Follows Fitzpatrick again Heinicke completed 11 of his 13 passes for 80 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions in Friday's preseason game against Cincinnati. He also added four rushes for 26 yards.
Impact Heinicke relieved Ryan Fitzpatrick on the team's first possession of the second quarter. He led four drives and was accurate with the ball, though he didn't look to push the ball down the field. Eight of Heinicke's 11 completions went for under 10 yards. One notable exception to his conservative play came on a pair of connections with Antonio Gandy-Golden that went for gains of 16 and 17 yards. Washington has not formally named Fitzpatrick the starting quarterback, though Heinicke faces long odds to overtake him for top spot on the depth chart come the regular season.

Mediocre in loss Heinicke completed nine of 15 passes for 86 yards in Thursday's 22-13 preseason loss to New England.
Impact Ryan Fitzpatrick got the start and completed five of eight passes for 58 yards. Neither Fitz nor Heinicke had a touchdown or interception, though the latter did lead a 64-yard drive capped off by Peyton Barber's one-yard TD at the goal line. While coach Ron Rivera says his quarterbacks are competing for the starting job, Heinicke remains a long shot to defeat Fitzpatrick.
