Ron Rivera said that the Washington Football Team will keep Kyle Allen as the starter next week if he’s healthy. Allen left the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jalen Ramsey and was evaluated for an arm injury. He was cleared for return after halftime, but Alex Smith remained in for the rest of the game. Rivera said he kept Allen out so he didn’t get hurt again, but Alex Smith was abused by the Rams defense for the rest of the game.
Rivera said that Smith was pretty good, and he stood tall in his first game back from breaking his leg two years ago.
