ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden still is not ready to say who will start at quarterback against the New England Patriots.

Gruden said after practice Thursday that he is â€œgetting closerâ€ť to deciding on a QB from among Colt McCoy, Case Keenum and first-round draft pick Dwayne Haskins but wants to wait at least another day.

Part of what will factor into the decision is the health of McCoy, who hasnâ€™t played since breaking his leg last season, and of Keenum, who has an injured right foot.

Keenum has six turnovers in the past two games for Washington, which is 0-4 as it prepares to host unbeaten New England on Sunday.

Haskins threw three interceptions while making his NFL debut after replacing Keenum in the second quarter of last weekâ€™s 24-3 loss to the New York Giants.
