Haskins died Saturday morning in South Florida after being hit by a vehicle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The former Ohio State quarterback would have been 25 years old in May. The 2019 first-round pick played three professional seasons combined with Washington and the Steelers.

Haskins will likely serve as the Steelers' No. 3 quarterback heading into offseason activities after the team agreed to terms with Mitchell Trubisky on Monday, Joe Rutter of TribLive.com reports.
Analysis: The Steelers tendered a contract to Haskins during the offseason, and he was expected to compete with Mason Rudolph for the starting job under center ahead of the 2022 campaign. However, the 2019 first-round pick is likely in line to serve as the team's No. 3 quarterback for a third consecutive year. He didn't appear in any games last year during his first full season in Pittsburgh.
Mar 14, 2022 1:41 PM EST
Haskins believes he'll have a chance to compete for Pittsburgh's starting quarterback job in 2022, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Ben Roethlisberger set to retire and Joshua Dobbs (IR/toe) scheduled for free agency, Haskins and Mason Rudolph are the two QBs under contract with Pittsburgh for 2022. The team does figure to explore out-of-house options, of course, but there is a scenario where Haskins and Rudolph end up competing for the No. 1 job. Haskins didn't play at all in 2021, but the Steelers reportedly were pleased with his work on the practice field.
Jan 19, 2022 10:58 AM EST
Haskins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Haskins was active for last week's matchup as a backup after Ben Roethlisberger tested positive for COVID-19. However, Mason Rudolph will serve as the No. 2 quarterback with Roethlisberger back in action Sunday.
Nov 21, 2021 4:10 PM EST
Haskins will be active as the backup for Sunday's game against Detroit, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: Haskins will be active for the first time this season considering Ben Roethlisberger has been ruled out with a COVID-19 diagnosis. Haskins hasn't played since 2020 when he featured in seven games for Washington, though his chances of playing Sunday will rely on Mason Rudolph's performance or any potential injury.
Nov 14, 2021 9:33 AM EST
Haskins completed nine of 16 passes for 108 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also rushing three times for six yards in Friday's 34-9 preseason loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Haskins drew the start Friday since Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph were held out of the game, and he played the entire first half. The 24-year-old also saw additional playing time late in the contest after Joshua Dobbs suffered a toe injury. However, he failed to generate much offensive production while playing 62 percent of the snaps. Following the game, coach Mike Tomlin said, "It wasn't the performance he wanted or we wanted." Rudolph appears to have secured the job as the Steelers' No. 2 quarterback, while Haskins may be on the roster bubble ahead of the regular season following inconsistent play during the preseason.
Aug 28, 2021 9:14 AM EST
Haskins will start Friday's preseason game against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: At first glance, it might sounds like good news for Haskins, but Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com relays that it likely means Mason Rudolph has locked up the No. 2 QB job (he'll be rested Friday night). It's now between Haskins and Joshua Dobbs for the third spot.
Aug 25, 2021 9:37 AM EST
Haskins completed four of seven passes for 56 yards in Saturday's 26-20 preseason win over the Lions.
Analysis: Haskins led three touchdown drives during the Steelers' second preseason game against the Eagles, but he didn't enter Saturday's exhibition contest until late in the game since Ben Roethlisberger started at quarterback. The 2019 first-rounder was less productive than Mason Rudolph, who was on the field for 50 percent of the team's snaps and completed 13 of 18 passes for 138 yards. Haskins will likely see more action in Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers, but he appears to be behind Rudolph in the competition for the backup quarterback job.
Aug 22, 2021 10:30 AM EST
Haskins completed 16 of 22 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushing attempts for minus-5 yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Haskins threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Johnson in the third quarter and also orchestrated a pair of drives culminating with one-yard touchdown runs, which were scored by Anthony McFarland and Jaylen Samuels. The offense looked much more dynamic with Haskins and Pittsburgh's backups against the Eagles' backup defenders than it did with Mason Rudolph and the starters against Philadelphia's starting defense. Haskins has likely made up some ground on Rudolph in the competition for the backup quarterback job, and the 2019 first-round pick will likely see some action with the starters in next week's preseason tilt against Detroit, especially if the Steelers continue to hold Ben Roethlisberger out.
Aug 12, 2021 9:00 PM EST
Haskins is expected to close out the first half in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old finished the first half in the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys, and he completed eight of his 13 passes for 54 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. Mason Rudolph will start once again in Thursday's exhibition contest as the two quarterbacks compete to serve as Ben Roethlisberger's primary backup, while Joshua Dobbs will relieve Haskins in the second half to close out the game. Although Rudolph drew the start in the Hall of Fame Game, Haskins led the team's quarterbacks by playing 41 percent of the offensive snaps.
Aug 10, 2021 11:26 PM EST
Haskins completed eight of 13 passes for 54 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed twice for four yards during the Steelers' 16-3 preseason win over the Cowboys in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Analysis: The 2019 15th overall pick officially began his journey toward what he and the Steelers hope is a career revival by getting an extended opportunity to man the Steelers offense beginning late in the first half. Haskins averaged a modest 4.2 yards per attempt, but unlike the player he's battling for the No. 2 quarterback job, Mason Rudolph, he did not commit any turnovers. The job battle between the two players figures to run through the balance of preseason, and Haskins may eventually get a chance to work with multiple first-team wideouts in at least one preseason game, as was the case with Rudolph on Thursday.
Aug 5, 2021 8:17 PM EST
Haskins is expected to finish the first half in Thursday night's Hall of Fame game against Dallas, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: While Mason Rudolph will start Thursday's preseason opener, Haskins should still receive ample playing time before Joshua Dobbs enters the contest to finish the second half. Haskins has taken plenty of snaps across the first several days of training camp and has drawn praise from coach Mike Tomlin. "He's grown by leaps and bounds," Tomlin said. "He's done a good job of communicating with players and coaches and gaining a rapport with the receivers, trying to do the things we want him to do." Since the Steelers figure to use Ben Roethlisberger sparingly in the preseason ahead of his age-39 campaign, Haskins should have plenty of chances to compete with Rudolph and Dobbs for the No. 2 job at quarterback.
Aug 4, 2021 3:31 PM EST
Haskins took a lot of snaps during Friday's practice, with coach Mike Tomlin explaining that he wanted to allot more work to players that will have significant roles in the Hall of Fame Game against Dallas on Aug. 5, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It seems a little early to start preparing for a preseason game, but Tomlin apparently disagrees, or else is using it as a convenient excuse for limiting Ben Roethlisberger's workload at Friday's practice. Regardless, Haskins apparently has recovered from the facial injury he suffered this summer, and he should see a good number of snaps in the Hall of Fame Game, competing with Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs for the backup QB job in Pittsburgh.
Jul 23, 2021 1:07 PM EST
Haskins suffered a facial injury in early July when he was allegedly assaulted by his wife at a Las Vegas hotel, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Haskins' wife faces a domestic violence charge following the July 3 incident that led to the quarterback heading to the hospital due to a split upper lip and other injuries to his mouth that required dental work. The Steelers said Thursday that they are aware of the situation but didn't offer a comment. Haskins signed a one-year contract with Pittsburgh in January, and it's not yet clear whether his injuries will impact his availability for the start of training camp.
Jul 15, 2021 5:59 PM EST
Haskins signed a contract with the Steelers on Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This represents a fresh start for the 2019 first-rounder, who was released by the Washington Football Team this past December. With the signing of Haskins, Pryor notes that the Steelers "signal they're focusing on a future without Ben Roethlisberger -- either this year or soon after." The team's long-time QB has one year left on his deal, but his 2021 status has yet to be cemented. With Josh Dobbs set to become a free agent this offseason, Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph and Haskins are the signal-callers Pittsburgh currently has under contract for next season.
Jan 21, 2021 2:08 PM EST
The Steelers are reportedly poised to sign Haskins, according to Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com.
Analysis: Per the report, the 2019 first-rounder, who was let go by Washington in December, is meeting with Pittsburgh's coaches, and "if all goes well, a deal will be hammered out." The team currently has Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph under contract for the 2021 campaign and adding Haskins to the mix would give the Steelers a player with some upside to develop behind the 38-year-old Roethlisberger, who's tentatively expected back next season.
Jan 21, 2021 11:02 AM EST
Haskins will visit the Panthers on Monday, independent NFL reporter Josina Andersonreports.
Analysis: Haskins was cut loose by Washington after playing the past two seasons with the team. The exploratory visit could potentially turn into a signing for the quarterback, who completed 60.1 percent of his 444 passes for 2,804 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions during his time in Washington.
Jan 9, 2021 8:39 AM EST
Haskins passed through waivers unclaimed Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Haskins had a tumultuous first two seasons as a professional, much of it self-inflicted. In his 16-game sample on the field with Washington -- including 13 starts -- he completed 60.1 percent of his 444 passes for 2,804 yards (6.3 YPA), 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Haskins also didn't contribute much on the ground (40 carries for 147 yards and one TD) and lost five of his 12 fumbles. While he's unlikely to get a chance with another NFL team so late in the season, some organizations have already shown interest in the 23-year-old signal-caller, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Dec 29, 2020 1:52 PM EST
The Football Team waived Haskins on Monday.
Analysis: The writing seemed to be on the wall after Haskins' poor performance during last weekend's loss to the Panthers (154 passing yards, three turnovers) led to his being demoted to the No. 3 role for a second time this season, but it's nonetheless surprising to see a first-round pick receive such a short tenure. Just 20 months ago, Washington selected the former Ohio State star 15th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. Haskins has started 16 games in his career, a sample size equivalent to a full season. In that span, he has just 2,804 passing yards, a 60 percent completion ratio, a 12:14 TD:INT and 6.3 yards per attempt. Any team that claims Haskins off waivers would inherit his fully-guaranteed $4.3 million salary over the next two years.
Dec 28, 2020 9:52 AM EST
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Taylor Heinicke, rather than Haskins, would start Week 17 if Alex Smith (calf) remains sidelined, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Rivera pulled Haskins during Washington's final two drives of last Sunday's loss to Carolina, at which point the 2019 first-round pick had three turnovers, no touchdowns and only 154 passing yards. Heinicke managed to spark a bit of life into the Football Team's offense in limited action, throwing for 137 yards and a touchdown while avoiding any interceptions. A combination of off-field issues and lackluster play appears to have lost Haskins' the trust of his coaching staff, and it seems unlikely he sees the field again this season.
