Although it is only a little more than a month since Robert Griffin III underwent reconstructive knee surgery, Washington Redskins officials are encouraged enough with his recovery to believe he has a legitimate chance to start in the 2013 opener, according to team and league sources.
The Redskins know there still is a long way to go, and they're hardly going to rush Griffin. But they also know that based on what they've seen so far, it is well within the realm of possibility that Griffin will be the team's starting quarterback in Week 1.
I will say that he looked great at the NFL awards ceremony. Not at all what I expected him to look like. He walked with no visible limp and appeared in good spirits. I don't want to rush the guy. His long term health is WAY more important than playing in a few extra games this season. However, if the doctors clear him and there is no greater risk of him playing in Week 1 than in Week 10, why not play him? We are still several months away from the start of the season and I'm sure there will be much more discussion/updates on RG3's health along the way so we'll see but at least it's encouraging to see/hear that he is doing well.
