No. 2 – Whoever starts at QB

As of now, the starting quarterback position is up in the air for the Redskins game against the Buffalo Bills. Case Keenum will start if he’s healthy, but he was a limited participant in yesterday’s practice, and he’s still recovering from a concussion.

If Keenum can’t go, then rookie Dwayne Haskins would notch the first start of his NFL career. It would be a logical time for Haskins to make his first start, as he has a bye week after the Bills game to potentially recover and reflect on his experience on the field. That said, his role this week is still undetermined. Concussions are unpredictable, so we’ll have to wait and see if Keenum progresses well enough to proceed.

Also, here’s a quick, friendly reminder: If Haskins starts, he could throw eight interceptions, and it would still be too early to call him a bust.
