Jay Gruden: QB Dwayne Haskins 'Will Get His Chance' After Redskins' 0-3 Start

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden sounds like he is leaving the door open for rookie Dwayne Haskins to get on the field.

Speaking to reporters during a conference call Wednesday, Gruden said his first-year quarterback is "not far away" and will "get his chance" as the team searches for answers after an 0-3 start to the season.

Gruden didn't offer any hints about when Haskins might play, but his response about the possibility has changed dramatically since Monday's 31-15 loss to the Chicago Bears.

"No really, no," Gruden told reporters Monday night about making a change from Case Keenum to Haskins at quarterback. "I think the most important thing is we have to have some continuity. You know, I can't be changing people every five minutes here."

Washington's coach also said Monday he has to give Keenum "an ample opportunity to play with these new guys."

Keenum had his worst game of the season against the Bears. The 31-year-old threw for 332 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, and he fumbled three times, losing two.

Washington is one of only two winless teams in the NFC. It drafted Haskins No. 15 overall in April, and he will likely be the quarterback of the future.

If things continue to go south for the Redskins, there won't be any good reason to keep Haskins on the bench.
