His recovery has been unbelievable so far," Andrews told ESPN. "RGIII is one those superhumans. First patient I ever had like that was Bo Jackson. And recently I, of course, had Adrian Peterson, who is also superhuman. They have an unbelievable ability to recover, where as a normal human being may not be able to recover." | | |

Griffin had surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL on Jan. 9 which gives him just eight months to recover. At this point if you select him you must have a viable backup on your roster. | | |

SOURCE: ESPN | Insight: Griffin suffered a partially torn LCL in his right knee during the Wild Card loss to Seattle and likely tore at least part of his ACL. The rookie QB tore the ACL in the same knee in 2009 and it required two screws and a rubber band to hold it together, which prevented doctors from being able to judge the extent of the damage this time. | | |

Description: Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III had trouble getting on the same page with his receivers Sunday versus the Cowboys (9-for-18, 100 yards) but his 10-yard touchdown sprint in the third quarter put the Redskins ahead for good. | Insight: Alfred Morris had a tremendous game out of the backfield (career-high 200 yards rushing) so Griffin really wasn't asked to do a whole lot. It's clear Griffin's knee isn't 100 percent but he picked his spots and was able to avoid making any costly mistakes. The NFC East Champs will host the Seahawks next Sunday in the first round of the playoffs. Neither team has lost a game since November 25th. | | |
