Washington coach Jay Gruden has a quarterback now, commits to Colt McCoy vs. Patriots

The Washington Redskins head coach said Friday he’ll start Colt McCoy against the New England Patriots at home in Week 5. It will be McCoy’s first start since Dec. 3, 2018, when he suffered a season-ending broken fibula.

Gruden chooses McCoy over Haskins, Keenum

Gruden was non-committal when asked about quarterback on Wednesday, saying, “We don’t have one right now.” The Patriots are the league’s top-ranked defense, allowing one touchdown over four games.

McCoy, 33, earned the starting job over rookie Dwayne Haskins and veteran Case Keenum. He has an all-time record of 7-20 with the Cleveland Browns (6-15) and Redskins (1-5).
