Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera said Alex Smith could make the quarterback competition an "interesting challenge" if the veteran is healthy.
Smith nearly lost his right leg following a gruesome injury in 2018 that required 17 surgeries. The 36-year-old is attempting to resume his football career and could put a significant wrinkle in the quarterback battle.
Dwayne Haskins, 23, was selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He struggled as a rookie, but has been the presumptive starter despite the on-field offseason program being canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
