Dwayne Haskins could start in Buffalo; Redskins want him to earn more

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins would still like to take it slow with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Even at 1-7. They know he's the future; they want him more prepared in the present. They also know his development now could -- should -- help him in the future.

That future could start to take place Sunday in Buffalo (1 p.m. ET, Fox) -- not by design, but because of an injury to starter Case Keenum. With Keenum still in the concussion protocol, Haskins is on pace to start for the first time this season.
