The Washington Football Team reportedly told quarterback Dwayne Haskins to stay home today, but not for what you think it is.

Dwayne Haskins has reportedly been throwing up for the past couple of days, and although he still planned to be on the sidelines today, the team told him to stay home.

Washington QB Dwayne Haskins has a stomach virus and has been throwing up the past couple days, per source. He planned to be on the sideline today, but the team sent him home (as @KimJonesSports reported).

Kyle Allen makes his first start against the #Rams. Alex Smith is No. 2.

I know that Dwayne Haskins will not be in attendance for Washington Football today. He was scheduled to be inactive anyway. There’s also a report from @DarrenMHaynes that Haskins is suffering from a stomach virus and was told to stay home. More info to come.

Washington Post reporter Nicki Jhabvala reports that the team does not believe it’s a COVID-19 issue at the moment.

“No reason to suspect it’s related to COVID-19, according to a person with knowledge of the situation,” Jhabvala reports.
