Jay Gruden on QB battle: 'I'm hoping that somebody takes it over'

RICHMOND — The Redskins quarterback competition is still wide open after Thursday’s 30-10 preseason loss to the Cleveland Browns, but coach Jay Gruden said Saturday he wants one of his signal-callers to separate themselves from the pack.

Case Keenum got the start Thursday and went 4-of-9 for 60 yards, while rookie Dwayne Haskins threw for 117 yards and tossed two interceptions. Veteran Colt McCoy (leg) was also withheld from the Browns game as a precaution.

Gruden said it was too soon to make any conclusions about the battle, given the Redskins have three more preseason games ahead.
