ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team fined quarterback Dwayne Haskins $40,000 and removed him from the role of team captain, three days after he was photographed at an event with strippers while not wearing a mask.
But there's still a chance he'll continue to start for Washington (6-8), which hosts the Carolina Panthers (4-10) on Sunday. Alex Smith did not practice because of his strained right calf, limiting him to playing catch while his teammates stretched.
Washington also gave reps to backups Taylor Heinicke and Steven Montez, both of whom were active last week with Smith sidelined.
