Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is back as the starter, despite recent reports that head coach Jay Gruden wants to move on from the former No. 2 overall pick.
Gruden made the announcement earlier today.
"Moving forward, this is Robert's team right now against the Eagles," Gruden said.
Griffin entered yesterday's game and completed 18 of 27 passes for 236 yards and one touchdown. He also ran five times for 46 yards. Despite the decent showing, the Redskins lost to the New York Giants 24-13.
The Redskins will finish the season with a pair of home games against the Eagles and Cowboys. The remaining weeks are likely RGIII's last chance to convince the franchise to stick with him.
Washington will have its own first-round pick for the first time since drafting Griffin in 2012. If he doesn't want to be replaced in the draft or by trade, he needs to lead the Redskins to their first win with him under center in over a year.
