Robert Griffin III Fanasy News 2012/2013

Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan won't know until Sunday how effective Robert Griffin III can be on his sprained knee.

The Redskins have yet to practice at full speed this week, so Shanahan hasn't seen Griffin truly test the knee. The biggest factors in the decision to play Griffin will be his ability to protect himself and the risk of reinjury. Shanahan believes Griffin will show he can move well enough to play, but acknowledges the final call will be made by the medical staff. The Redskins won't know whether they will have to alter their play-calling and concepts to suit a more limited RGIII until this weekend. Griffin was limited again in Thursday's practice, though coach Mike Shanahan said he was better than Wednesday. He's headed toward a game-time decision, though we expect him to play.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports Robert Griffin III (questionable, knee) has taken no first-team practice reps this week, and Kirk Cousins has handled them all.

Per Glazer, Griffin's Week 15 status "is truly a game-time decision." Griffin has thrown to receivers on the side and participated in some individual drills, but there have been "no first-team reps at all." Redskins-Browns has a 1PM ET start on Sunday, so we will know Griffin's availability early. If Griffin does not play, Pierre Garcon's fantasy outlook would take a sizable blow.

Robert Griffin III (knee) was reportedly "moving fine" once again at Thursday's full practice.

Griffin bounced back from his full-speed practice on Wednesday without any problems. At this point, it would be a surprise if he didn't start Sunday's game against the Eagles. "If there's no setback," coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday, "doctors feel he'll be ready to go." The last time he faced the Eagles, Griffin completed 14-of-15 passes for 200 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed 12 times for 84 yards.

Robert Griffin III (knee) practiced fully again on Friday and is listed as probable for Week 16 at Philadelphia.

Coach Mike Shanahan said Friday that Griffin has not yet been medically cleared for game action, but the probable tag indicates that the Redskins fully expect him to be by Friday. He practiced in "full" every day this week. Shanahan added that Griffin "looked good" in Friday's practice, and beat writers have been similarly upbeat about his health. Check back Sunday to be sure he's playing, but expect him to. Chris Wesseling has Griffin sixth among Week 16 quarterback starts.
