Whether or not league COVID rules were broken, Haskins has yet again screwed up. Now the team has to answer to the league, and a major distraction hovers over the locker room days before one of the biggest games the team has played in years. Not only is it very easy to stay out of the news, it's also a prime responsibility of quarterbacks. This is just another indication of Haskins's idiocy.

This will be a test to see how Ron handles his first major discipline - related issue as our HC here.
I think that Haskins should be suspended for the remainder of the season. He should not be allowed in the building / facility. Haskins needs to quarantine obviously.
I suppose it is a possibility that the NFL disciplines him, what other examples do we have this season of punishment doled out on a player for violating protocol?
Ron has to take responsibility on this one and get out ahead of whatever the league may do to Haskins, if there is grounds for that.

Technically this is the second major discipline issue. The first one was Guice and he was cut. Easier to do, but I feel that was the first issue.

I assume the team made it a rule or strongly told players to wear a mask when out.
But is there an NFL or team rule that says players cant go to clubs or restaurants?
1. Did he break any written rules?
2. Was it just that he wasnt wearing a mask and if the photos had him wearing a mask then he would be clear?
3. I thought dude was religious, demonstratively praying on the sideline vs 9ers then praising God in his post game presser. I guess thats more image and not a real devotion for him.

You are right, the Guice thing completely slipped my mind.

It was just pointed out to me that this will be the second time Haskins will face discipline for violating COVID protocol. He was fined earlier in the season for inviting a family friend to the team hotel. So i guess now it will be whatever comes next for repeat violators of the COVID protocol.
Dwayne's lack of professional maturity i think is a major issue here. He needs to be gone if he can't shape up. Rivera can't let this go.

I can't link the tweet because he changed his settings to approved followers only, but Haskins apologized.
I also want to apologize for creating a distraction for my team during our playoff push. I will learn and grow from this and do what’s best for the team moving forward.

Classic. A "sorrrrry, won't happen again" and everything goes back to normal. WTF is wrong with this kid.
Regardless of the punishment which is bound to happen, you just got chin checked by a better team in your one opportunity to prove you deserve a second chance, and you decide to let the steam out by going maskless in a club with some strippers?
Anybody who's been to a strip club recognizes those fat cheeks and the stack of singles in Dwayne's hand. The watch party - eh, that was obv. Dwayne's girl and her friends. But Dwayne is gonna get chin checked by the football team and the NFL for going maskless with the strippers. Ron can't cut him right now but it's another red flag for his future with this team.

Third. WR Cody Latimer was cut immediately after his arrest.
