Dwayne Haskins suffers high-ankle sprain; status for Week 17 unknown

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Washington Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants, which held him out of the second half of the game.

Rapoport says that Haskins has a desire to play in the final game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on the road, but it is yet to be determined whether he can or not. After being carted to the locker room, Haskins walked back to the sideline in the third quarter and reportedly was lobbying to go back into the game.

Haskins has been dealing with an ankle injury for a couple of weeks now, and he’s shown over that time his ability to play through pain, as well as a desire to be in the game for his teammates.

If history is any indicator of the kid’s toughness, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him play in Week 17. However, depending on the severity of the injury, it might be more logical to sit him for the rest of the season.
