Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III maintains
that he feels ready to rejoin his teammates on the practice field for the start
of training camp. This feeling will be tested Wednesday, when Griffin meets
with Dr. James Andrews to review his progression and determine when he is ready
to be cleared to return to the field, according to Mike Jones of The Washington
Post.
Jones spoke with a person familiar with Griffin who said the
quarterback’s knee “feels great,” adding that Griffin believes he has done
everything possible to meet his stated goal of returning for the start of
training camp. The second-year pro reportedly continues to run and cut without
experiencing pain.
Griffin will meet with Andrews, who will examine the
quarterback’s knee extensively on Wednesday. If he clears him, Griffin will be
able to return for the start of training camp. If not, the Redskins could place
Griffin on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, which would prevent him
from practicing until he further strengthens his knee by conducting running and
other drills.
If Griffin does start on the PUP list, it wouldn’t
necessarily be considered a setback. The Minnesota Vikings took that approach
with MVP running back Adrian Peterson, who also didn’t participate in preseason
games last year after suffering a similar significant knee injury.
