By Erin Walsh | Last updated 12/18/20

The Washington Football Team has won its last four games thanks to veteran quarterback Alex Smith. However, they'll have to look elsewhere for a win on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Smith has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a calf injury. Dwayne Haskins will start for the first time since Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Smith suffered the calf injury last weekend against the San Francisco 49ers. He exited the game and Haskins filled in, completing seven-of-12 passes for 51 yards.

Smith, 36, is 4-1 on the season, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,420 yards and four touchdowns against six interceptions. He got the nod to start games after Kyle Allen suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation.

Washington will now turn to Haskins to keep its NFC East division title hopes alive. The 23-year-old is 1-3 on the season, completing 60.8% of his passes for 990 yards and four touchdowns against three interceptions.
