Washington has hired assistant HC/offensive line coach Bill Callahan as the interim head coach, per source.

The Redskins said in a statement: "Through the first five games of the 2019 season, the team has clearly not performed up to expectations, and we all share in that responsibility. Moving forward we are committed to doing all that we can collectively as an organization to turn things around and give our Redskins fans and alumni a team they can be proud of in 2019 and beyond." The latest was a blowout loss to New England at home on Sunday. There is a good chance we see Haskins starting at QB sooner than later.

Colt McCoy and Dwayne Haskins split first-team reps while Case Keenum was in a walking boot on his right foot.

It looks as if coach Jay Gruden will end up deciding between Colt McCoy and Dwayne Haskins as Washington's starter against the Patriots. Either will be good for New England's D/ST.

HC Jay Gruden said the following about his Week 5 QB:

“I think I’ll figure that out, especially when I find out the true status of our quarterbacks that are banged up a little bit,” Gruden said, in reference to Case Keenum‘s foot and Colt McCoy‘s leg. “Obviously Colt coming back from his leg injury, if he’s 100 percent ready to go. Case, how he’s doing with his foot — he was in a boot after the game, precautionary reason. We’ll see where they are. And then talking to Dwayne Haskins, seeing his progress. I’ll make that determination. I think it will depend on the decision I make and then how that person performs on Thursday and Friday.”

Gruden said his decision has nothing to do with playing the Patriots this week. We reported yesterday that Gruden apparently loves McCoy and he could have the edge in Week 5. Despite what Gruden said, it seems hard to believe he would throw the rookie Haskins out there against the Pats good defense.

Case Keenum was benched against the Giants in Week 4. Ian Rapoport said it doesn't necessarily mean Dwayne Haskins will be the starter, and Colt McCoy is also in the picture.

Rapoport said Gruden likes McCoy a lot, and McCoy is now fully healthy after a leg injury. Rapoport added the team will not just hand the job to Haskins because he was a first round pick. This week, the Skins take on the Patriots, so it's perhaps not an ideal situation for Haskins to make his first NFL start.

Jay Gruden said Case Keenum was a full participant in practice. He said the plan remains for him to start Sunday.

Washington fans want to see what Dwayne Haskins can do, but it looks like Case Keenum is set for another start. This week Keenum's even on the fantasy radar against a weak Giants pass defense.
