Alex Smith promoted to backup QB role vs. Rams over Dwayne Haskins

Not only did Washington’s QB Dwayne Haskins lose his starting spot on Wednesday morning after throwing a career-high in passing yards against the Baltimore Ravens, but he got sent all the way down the bench, now sitting as the third-string QB behind Alex Smith, who many thought was done playing football less than a few months ago.

So with Kyle Allen now the QB1 in Washington, and Smith holding the QB2 spot, what does that mean for Haskins? Will he be looking for a new team soon, or is this simply a ploy to give him some time to develop in the shadows and give this QB1 spot a run for its money a year from now? That’s impossible to know at this moment, but it’s clear that Washington apparently wants little do to with him for the time being.
