Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins's rookie season is officially over after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 against the Giants.

Interim coach Bill Callahan told reporters on Monday that Haskins will not face the Cowboys in Washington's upcoming season finale. It is a crucial game for Dallas who can win the NFC East with a victory over the Redskins and an Eagles' loss to the Giants.

Veteran Case Keenum will start for the Redskins with Haskins out.

On Sunday, Haskins was carted off the field with an ankle injury on the first play of the third quarter after he was sacked by Giants rusher Markus Golden. He was able to walk to the sidelines without assistance before sitting on a cart.

Haskins returned to the field and was seen carrying his helmet, according to Les Carpenter of The Washington Post, but the team trainers took his helmet away from him. Case Keenum entered the game at quarterback.

Haskins completed 12 of 15 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns before exiting the game, which the Giants won 41–35.

Haskins was named Washington's starter on Nov. 11 for the remainder of the season when the Redskins were struggling at 1–8. Keenum became Haskins's backup and Colt McCoy was listed as the No. 3 QB.

In nine games this season, Haskins has thrown for 1,365 yards with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Redskins selected him with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2019 draft out of Ohio State.

The Redskins have a 3–12 record and have been eliminated from playoff contention.
