The Facts: Griffin III said after taking the field at Organized Team Activities that everything is positive with his surgically repaired knee. “The knee feels great,” Griffin said. “I’m able to do all the stuff out there without any hesitation, so that’s the best part about it. I’m excited about that. It’s all about having that confidence, and if you put the work in you’ll have that confidence when you get back out there on the field. It’s about playing like you were never injured.”

Diehards Line:Griffin said he talked to coach Mike Shanahan prior to OTAs and said he wanted to do as much on-field work as he could, and that Shanahan allowed him to join other players who are rehabbing from injuries to do some limited on-field drills. Griffin said he expects to be able to sprint within the next couple of weeks and to cut within a couple weeks after he starts sprinting. “There’s two phases left, explosive sprinting and cutting. Those are the only two things left. Being at four and a half months out, I am a little bit ahead,” Griffin said. “My goal is to be out there for training camp. ..." As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, Griffin hastened to add that he is being smart about not pushing himself so hard that he has any setbacks. While none of this should be taken as a certain indication Griffin will be ready to go Week 1, it's yet another in a long series of positive developments in his return from reconstructive surgery. Of course, we're still three full months plus away from Week 1. So stay tuned.
