Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III continues
to recover from the significant knee injury that ended his 2012 campaign. While
his recovery is said to be going extremely well, Redskins general manager Bruce
Allen told reporters – including Mark Maske of The Washington Post – that it’s
too early to tell if Griffin will be ready to practice when the team opens training
camp in July.

“It’s great to hear the building is on schedule, ahead of schedule, and I’ve heard all those same phrases for our quarterback,” Allen said at a tour for reporters of the team’s under-construction training camp site in Richmond. “It’s too early to tell right now. He is doing everything that the doctors want him to do. He’s a great worker. I think that’s why there’s so much optimism that he’ll be ready at the beginning. But it’s really too premature to speculate on where his medical condition is until we give him a physical when training camp starts July 25.”
Griffin has openly targeted the Redskins’ season opener
against the Philadelphia Eagles as his return date. Coaches are impressed with the way the quarterback has recovered, but they continue to say they are not
willing to rush him back from injury. Griffin underwent surgery in January torepair the torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee.
