Redskins to start Colt McCoy at quarterback against the Patriots

When pressed on the Washington Redskins quarterback situation earlier in the week, Jay Gruden admitted that, at the time, the team did not have a plan at the game’s most important position.

Gruden kicked off the 2019 regular season with Case Keenum as the starter. Keenum was serviceable for a time; he produced, but his production ultimately never led to success, and his game grew more volatile as the team’s offensive situation deteriorated.

Things hit a low point in Week 4 against the New York Giants, when Keenum was benched in the second quarter for rookie signal caller Dwayne Haskins.
