The winner between the two ex-Heisman Trophy contenders battling for the Washington Redskins third-string quarterback job? Try "none of the above."
The Redskins say they've decided to put quarterback Colt Brennan on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ruling him out for the season.
The team reported on its Web site Saturday that Brennan aggravated a nagging hamstring problem during Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Brennan and Chase Daniel spent the preseason battling for the third-string job.
But Daniel was waived Saturday as the Redskins made their final cuts for the 53-man roster and was being considered for the practice squad.
The Redskins plan to carry only two quarterbacks on their roster -- Jason Campbell and Todd Collins.
Daniel, a undrafted rookie from Missouri generously listed at 6 feet, was considered a long shot to overtake Brennan at the start of training camp.
But Brennan threw three interceptions in preseason while Daniel had three touchdowns and no interceptions in more limited action.
The quarterback developments were the first nuggets on a busy day at Redskins Park.
Kicker Dave Rayner was also cut, giving Shaun Suisham the starting job.
The Redskins faced a 6 p.m. ET deadline to cut their roster from 75 to 53.
Daniel said in a Twitter post he was told by the front office he'll get a spot on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Teams can establish an eight-man practice squad Sunday.
