Robert Griffin III: News and Notes

May 23 Though Griffin (knee) did not participate in the Redskins' OTAs on Thursday, he was able to do some throwing, the Washington Post reports. The report adds that Griffin was also able to do some running near the beginning of Thursday's practice.

Recommendation: Griffin, who was sporting a brace on his right knee Thursday, is recovering from January surgery to repair tears in his ACL and LCL. According to the report, his throws "were relatively crisp," with the QB appearing to be able to plant on his right leg, albeit not at top speed. When interviewed afterward, Griffin reiterated that his goal is to be ready to play by Week 1 but acknowledged that he will not rush back just to meet that target.

May 23 Griffin says he cried after his knee surgery and changed his cellphone passcode to the date of the Washington Redskins season opener as he began his rehabilitation process.

Advice: The electrifying Griffin held his first in-depth news conference Thursday since his reconstructive knee surgery in January. He also took part in an offseason practice session in which he wore a large black brace and ran drills with other teammates recovering from injuries. He remains confident will be play in that season opener on Sept. 9.
