RG3 Good For Week One?

RG3 Ready For Week One?

Washington Redskins' quarterback, Robert Griffin III, will find out tonight if he will be cleared to play in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. RG3 is scheduled to meet Dr. Andrews while the rest of team will travel to Florida for their final preseason game against Tampa Bay. In a league that every game counts, could Washington afford a few more weeks without their starting stud?

Robert Griffin injured his right knee back in January and had reconstructive surgery in the same month. Nearly eight months later, RG3 is hopeful he will be cleared to play in the opener. Dr. Andrews cleared RG3 for practice right before training camp began. Now, he is hoping to get the green light from Andrews one more time.

We all saw the hits that Griffin III took last year, some of them were brutal. One has to wonder if he has learned his lesson. The heart of RG3 is undeniable and the energy has brought a Washington nation back to life. The Redskins went 10-6 last season and look to compete for a second straight division title.

More then likely, RG3 will be primed and ready as the Redskins host the Eagles on the opening night of Monday Night Football. However, if he isn't cleared, what does this mean to the Redskins? Their first three games are against Philadelphia, Green Bay, and Detroit. They have a brutal end-of-the-year schedule, which includes the New York Giants twice, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, and Kansas City.
