The Facts:
It has been a little more than a month since Griffin had his right ACL and LCL surgically repaired, which is apparently enough time for the Redskins to develop an idea about when Griffin will be ready to start playing games again. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the team is already encouraged enough by Griffin’s rehab that they believe he has a “legitimate chance” of being on the field when the Redskins start the 2013 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Josh Alper suggests, “legitimate chance” is one of those purposefully vague phrases that leave a lot of wiggle room and it is with good reason in this case. Alper went on to explain "Griffin’s rehab is just starting and there are plenty of other checkpoints that he’ll have to hit in the seven months before the start of next season before he’s given the green light to lead the Redskins offense. Encouraging signs are just that at this point in the process because there’s no way they or anyone else can know how RG3's knee will progress over the long road ahead. ..." And that's a fact. We'll continue to follow up and add data points as they're made available, but nobody should make any hard and fast decisions based on what we know today if they don't absolutely have to.
