Washington: Quarterback Robert Griffin III, who had surgery on his right knee in January, gave Washington Redskins fans a massive pre-season boost yesterday when he said he had been cleared by team doctors to return to the practice field.
One of the top first-year players in the National Football League last season, Griffin had reconstructive surgery to repair torn lateral and anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) suffered in a wildcard play-off loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
“Doctors cleared me to practice. Coach is going to ease me in. Thank you for your support. See you in Richmond,” tweeted Griffin.
