Case Keenum Beats out Dwayne Haskins to Be Named Redskins' Starting QB

It will be Case Keenum under center for Washington against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 after coach Jay Gruden tabbed the veteran journeyman as the starting quarterback over rookie Dwayne Haskins on Sunday.

This should come as no surprise, as NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported on Aug. 19 that Keenum was expected to open the season as the starter.

Keenum was acquired from the Denver Broncos back in March with Alex Smith and Colt McCoy each rehabbing their respective leg injuries.
