The Washington Football Team has released quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr., sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter and Kimberley Martin.
Haskins was benched in the fourth quarter Sunday after throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble in a 20-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
He started for a second straight week in place of the injured Alex Smith despite being fined $40,000 and losing his role as a captain for violating COVID-19 protocols when he was photographed last week without a mask while attending his girlfriend's birthday party.
