Taylor Heinicke will back up Dwayne Haskins for the Washington Football Team.

The Washington Football Team made another quarterback change ahead of their Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks. With Alex Smith dealing with a calf injury, Dwayne Haskins is set to make his first start since a Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

However, that wasn’t the only change the team needed.
