Washington Football Team's Ron Rivera: I haven't given up on benched Dwayne Haskins
Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera said Dwayne Haskins remains in his plans, despite being benched earlier this week.
"By no means have I given up on him," Rivera said.
Washington benched Haskins in favor of Kyle Allen for Sunday's game vs. the Los Angeles Rams. Haskins will be the No. 3 quarterback, behind Alex Smith. The move represents a major pivot as Rivera previously said he'd stick with Haskins through the growth process.

"A big part of it is watching and studying," Rivera said. "Like today, he was back there behind the quarterback watching the reps, looking downfield. Just being involved, staying connected, which is important. ... I've told you guys the only reason I'm doing what I'm doing is because of the circumstances and the situation we're in right now."

"There are things Dwayne was still learning to do that Kyle knows in terms of communicating with the offensive line," Rivera said. "It's something as we go through this and progress, Dwayne will learn and see how these things are done."
