5Dimes LogoYou never want to see a player miss a game due to injuries, but the Redskins must be breathing a sigh of relief knowing that Saquon Barkley will not be suiting up.

Daniel Jones will get his second straight start after replacing Eli Manning in the pocket. In Jones’ first game as a starter, he tossed 2 touchdown passes and 336 yards en route to the Giants’ first win of the season.

Case Keenum has had no trouble tossing touchdowns for the Redskins. Through three games, Keenum has managed 7 touchdown passes and 933 yards. With the Redskins’ record, many are wondering when Dwayne Haskins will get his chance. However, the Redskins’ front office and personnel have reiterated that Keenum is the guy moving forward.
