Head coach Ron Rivera indicated Tuesday that Fitzpatrick (hip) will be placed on injured reserve in the near future, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is hardly a surprise given Fitzpatrick's 6-to-8 week timetable for the hip subluxation he suffered during Sunday's season opener versus the Chargers. The veteran was still involved in meetings Tuesday and figures to be available again at some point this season, but Taylor Heinicke is in line to take over the starting duties in his absence. Kyle Allen should serve as the top backup.

Fitzpatrick (hip) is expected to be out for 6-to-8 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick is expected to go on injured reserve Monday. Taylor Heinicke will start in Fitzpatrick's absence, and Kyle Allen will back him up. If Fitzpatrick comes back at the front end of his recovery timeline, he could be available as soon as Oct. 24 against the Packers, though it's possible the starting job could be Heinicke's for good by that time.

Fitzpatrick's MRI on Monday revealed a hip subluxation, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Washington plans to place Fitzpatrick on injured reserve after an MRI confirmed his diagnosis, but it's not yet clear whether the issue will end his season. Taylor Heinicke will serve as the starting quarterback during Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Giants and figures to remain the starter while the 38-year-old remains sidelined. Kyle Allen will be available as the primary backup, while the team added Kyle Shurmur to its practice squad Monday. Once Fitzpatrick officially is placed on injured reserve, the earliest he'll be able to return will be Week 5 against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 10.

Fitzpatrick (hip) could be out anywhere from a few weeks to the rest of the season, pending the results of Monday's MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The quarterback is believed to have suffered a subluxation of his right hip in the second quarter of Sunday's season-opening loss to the Chargers. He's scheduled for an MRI early Monday, but it isn't clear when Washington will provide an update on the results. Depending on what doctors see, Fitzpatrick could be back within a few weeks or could be facing a multi-month absence. Either way, he's a strong candidate to be placed on injured reserve, which would mean a minimum of three missed games. Taylor Heinicke figures to start at quarterback for Washington in Week 2, hosting the division rival Giants on Thursday Night Football.

Fitzpatrick may have a subluxation of his right hip and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick left the field early in the second quarter of Sunday's eventual 20-16 loss to the Chargers and didn't return. Washington is hopeful that the veteran signal caller didn't suffer a fracture, but the upcoming evaluation will provide more definite answers. In any case, it appears Fitzpatrick is poised for an absence of some type, which would thrust Taylor Heinicke into the starting lineup.

Fitzpatrick (hip) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick's last play before his departure was an incompletion early in the second quarter, leaving him 3-for-6 passing for 13 yards and one two-yard carry. With the graybeard out of commission, Washington has turned over the offense to Taylor Heinicke.

Fitzpatrick was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a right hip injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, Taylor Heinicke has taken over Washington's QB duties versus the Chargers. Prior to his exit from the contest, Fitzpatrick had completed three of six passes for 13 yards.

Fitzpatrick is slated to start at QB for Washington in Week 1 and beyond, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

EDGE Analysis

Though the assignment hasn't been officially confirmed by the team, this is an expected outcome, considering the way things have played out during the preseason. The well-traveled veteran QB is in line to be backed up by Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen.

Fitzpatrick is one of many starters who won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A large chunk of the roster is expected to sit, including QB Taylor Heinicke, RB Antonio Gibson, WRs Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, Adam Humphries and Cam Sims and TE Logan Thomas. Coach Ron Rivera called the QB spot a competition between Fitzpatrick and Heinicke earlier this summer, but it hasn't had the look of a real job battle so far, with Fitzpatrick starting the first two preseason games while Heinicke worked almost exclusively with the second-string offense. Fitzpatrick likely will get the start Week 1 against the Chargers.

Fitzpatrick completed seven of his 13 pass attempts for 96 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions in Friday's preseason game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick led four offensive series for Washington, though that resulted in only three points. However, he did connect with some of his top receivers for big gains, highlighted by a 28-yard completion to Logan Thomas and a 29-yard gain on a deep pass to Dyami Brown. Though Fitzpatrick has not been formally named the starter in Washington to begin the season, he has started both of the team's preseason games to this point and is presumably locked into the role.
