Dwayne Haskins to start vs. Seahawks with Alex Smith out

Alex Smith’s Comeback Player of the Year campaign will not feature a start against his old NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks.

On Friday, Washington ruled Smith out for Sunday against the Seahawks with a calf injury suffered in Week 14. In Smith’s place, sophomore Dwayne Haskins will get another chance to start.

(You may also notice former Seattle draft pick Kevin Pierre-Louis has been ruled out, denying the linebacker a revenge game.)

QB Alex Smith (calf), LB Cole Holcomb (concussion) and LB Kevin Pierre- Louis (ankle) have been ruled out for Sunday.
