Keenum (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Craig Hoffman of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even if Keenum makes enough progress in his recovery from the right foot injury to suit up this weekend, he'll be working in a backup capacity, as coach Jay Gruden has already named McCoy the team's starting quarterback for the contest. Whether McCoy retains that job beyond this weekend will likely hinge on how he fares, so Keenum is far from a safe bet to slot back in atop the depth chart once he becomes further removed from the foot injury. If Keenum isn't fit to handle the No. 2 job Sunday, rookie Dwayne Haskins will serve as McCoy's understudy.

Coach Jay Gruden said he won't make a decision on the Redskins' Week 5 starting quarterback until Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gruden seems to be contemplating Keenum and Colt McCoy -- and not rookie Dwayne Haskins -- as he wants to see how both veterans react to Thursday's practice. Speaking of that session, Keenum got out of his walking boot and put in a limited showing, per Craig Hoffman of 106-7 The Fan Washington. As for McCoy, he has yet to be active this season due to his lengthy recovery from a fractured fibula.

Keenum (foot) returned to practice Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ditching his walking boot, Keenum took part in individual drills during the portion of the session open to the media, according to Finlay. Last week, Keenum did the very same thing, being tabbed as a "full" participant both Thursday and Friday. Assuming he repeats the feat this time around, it'll be interesting to see if coach Jay Gruden names Keenum the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Keenum's competitors for the job are Colt McCoy and rookie Dwayne Haskins.

Keenum was spotted in a walking boot at Wednesday's practice, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Jay Gruden chalked up his decision to pull Keenum from Sunday's debacle against the Giants due to the foot injury. With Keenum's right foot encased in a boot to kick off Week 5 prep, Gruden seemingly was telling the truth. In any case, Keenum was in a similar situation last week, wearing a boot before ditching it Thursday and getting a "full" listing on the Redskins' final two injury reports. Gruden has yet to commit to a starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, but Colt McCoy and rookie Dwayne Haskins split the reps Wednesday, per Walker.

Coach Jay Gruden said Keenum was pulled early in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Giants because the quarterback was tending to a foot injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gruden didn't provide much of an update on Keenum's situation when he met with the media Monday, noting that the veteran would continue to be evaluated ahead of the Week 5 matchup with the Patriots, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic. Though the coach noted after Sunday's game that the injury may have contributed to the poor accuracy Keenum showed on his throws, the signal-caller entered the contest with little job security after committing five turnovers in the Week 3 loss to the Bears. Keenum's injury coupled with his poor performance in back-to-back games leaves Washington's quarterback situation truly in flux heading into the home date with New England. Gruden already has indicated that Keenum, rookie Dwayne Haskins and a healthy Colt McCoy are all under consideration for the Week 5 starting nod.

Keenum was pulled from Sunday's road game against the Giants for rookie signal-caller Dwayne Haskins, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum directed four drives before his removal, throwing an interception before the Redskins punted on the next three possessions. Overall, he completed six of 11 passes for 37 yards and the aforementioned pick. It remains to be seen if the change from Keenum to Haskins will last into Week 5 and beyond, as Colt McCoy is back to full health but was a healthy scratch Sunday.

Keenum (foot) will start Sunday's game against the Giants, Kyle Stackpole of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was a moment of concern earlier this week when Keenum was held out of Wednesday's practice and spotted in a walking boot. He then returned to full participation Thursday, confirming that his use of a boot was more about caution than anything else. Keenum gets a prime matchup with the beleaguered Giants defense, but he may be playing without top wideout Terry McLaurin, who is headed for a game-time decision due to a hamstring injury.

Keenum (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
After wearing a walking boot and being listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Keenum seemingly was sitting out as a precaution. Coach Jay Gruden told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington in the post-practice media scrum that the Redskins intend for Keenum to be the starting quarterback in Sunday's road game against the Giants. Meanwhile, Colt McCoy participated in his first regular-season practice Thursday, but Gruden wouldn't commit to him taking over backup duties from rookie Dwayne Haskins this weekend, per Finlay.

Keenum (foot) returned to practice Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Keenum ditched the walking boot that he donned Wednesday and made him a DNP on the Redskins' estimated injury report. There's an expectation he'll suit up anyway Sunday against the Giants, and his ability to practice Thursday backs up that sentiment. The ensuing report will relay how many drills Keenum was able to handle.

Keenum is listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's estimated practice due to a foot injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keenum is expected to be healthy for Week 4 but is currently wearing a walking boot, according to Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post. The 31-year-old quarterback is coming off a rough 31-15 loss to the Bears in which he accounted for five turnovers - three interceptions and three fumbles, two of which he lost - as Washington's record dropped to 0-3. Coach Jay Gruden said earlier in the week that Keenum remains the team's starting quarterback, according to Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington, but if the veteran signal-caller is hampered by injury or logs another poor performance he could face pressure from Colt McCoy and rookie first-round pick Dwayne Haskins.
