Mike Shanahan Says Redskins QB Robert Griffin III Is Back To Full Speed

Robert Griffin III is “full speed, ready to go” on his right knee after returning Sunday from a lateral collateral ligament sprain suffered two weeks earlier, Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Monday according to Stephen Whyno of the Washington Times. Griffin, who missed one game after suffering a second-degree LCL sprain Dec. 9, started at the Philadelphia Eagles and threw for 198 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Barring a setback this week, he’ll start Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys with the NFC East title at stake. “He’s fine. No problem with his knee,” Shanahan said Monday on a conference call. “There’s no limited performance out of him. The doctors OK’d him, he’s cleared and full speed, ready to go.” “We have a game plan going in. Sometimes there’s more run action than you saw or play-action passes or sometimes we’ll run more,” he said. “In that game, we decided not to go in that direction. Not as much; we did a few times. We did a little bit more quarterback keeps than we did running the football, but that was by design.” Griffin wore a brace on the right knee, something he also did at Baylor after tearing his ACL.
