Smith will serve as Washington's No. 2 quarterback behind starter Kyle Allen in Sunday's game against the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Washington demoting 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins to the No. 3 role, Smith will move up a rung on the depth chart. The 36-year-old is poised to be active Week 5 for the first time since suffering a brutal leg injury in a Nov. 18, 2018 game against the Texans, and he could even see the field if Allen were to struggle or miss time with an injury.
