Alex Smith will back up Allen with Haskins inactive after not having enough time to learn a new system in his second year in the NFL. Washington acquired Allen from Carolina instead, and Smith was cleared for full contact 22 months since breaking his right tibia and fibula. Haskins was made the Week 1 starter, and Rivera saw some of Newton's qualities in the 2019 first-round pick out of Ohio State. Haskins completed 72 of 115 passing attempts, threw three touchdowns and three interceptions and was sacked 10 times during Washington's three game skid. Overall, Haskins has thrown for 939 yards and has completed 61% of his passes, with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
