The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... HC Mike Shanahan recently revealed to that Griffin is ahead of schedule in his recovery from reconstructive knee surgery, but cautioned that it's a lengthy process usually filled with ups and downs. Griffin's orthopedic surgeon, however, has no interest in tamping down expectations. Dr. James Andrews recently described Griffin as "superhuman" in his ability and motivation to recover from surgery to repair the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Andrews went on to compare Griffin to Adrian Peterson and Bo Jackson as exceptional natural athletes and genetic freaks to whom conventional recovery timetables don't apply. As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling notes, while those comments from Andrews might seem hyperbolic, a similar assessment was offered recently by Griffin's rehab partner, free-agent TE Fred Davis. "You can barely even tell that he's hurt. He's doing every drill," Davis said. "He looks comfortable and normal to me. When he first got back, I was surprised, like, 'Did you just have surgery?'" Wesseling added: "Shanahan is doing Griffin a favor in attempting to cushion the blow if the quarterback isn't ready when the Week 1 whistle blows. To hear Davis and Andrews talk, though, it's perfectly reasonable for Redskins fans to get their hopes up. ..." Again, there's a lot of time between now and Week 1. We'll continue to follow along, but none of us should expect resolution any time soon.
