The Washington Redskins are officially Dwayne Haskins' team.

The rookie will remain the starting quarterback for the rest of the season, the club announced Monday.

It was widely expected that the 1-9 Redskins would keep Haskins, the 15th overall pick in April's draft, under center coming out of their bye after he made his first NFL start in Week 9.

Haskins is still seeking his first touchdown pass and has thrown four interceptions in three appearances.

The former Ohio State standout's second start will come at home against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Case Keenum will back up Haskins, while Colt McCoy will act as Washington's third quarterback, according to ESPN's John Keim.
