Dwayne Haskins Jr. returns to practice after NFL and Washington work out deal over COVID-19 violation

Dwayne Haskins Jr. put the team and his coaches in a difficult situation when photos showed up on social media showing him partying mask-less at a strip club following Sunday's loss. This was a clear and blatant violation of the team's, and the NFL's, COVID-19 rules.

This was also Haskins’ 2nd violation. Head Coach Ron Rivera just completed a very public treatment schedule for cancer which makes him high risk. Washington is also not sure if their starting QB Alex Smith can return from a calf strain this week. The team has limited options if Smith can't play this week and Haskins isn't available due to a suspension.
