MINNEAPOLIS -- The Washington Redskins wanted rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins to sit at least a couple of more weeks before putting him in a game. But they didn't have a choice but to play him Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
Haskins opened the second half as the quarterback because starter Case Keenum was placed in the concussion protocol. Keenum was later ruled out for the rest of the game.
Haskins, the 15th overall selection of this year's draft, has not played since replacing Keenum in a Week 4 loss at the New York Giants.
