The Facts:
The talk that Griffin is making an unprecedented recovery from reconstructive knee surgery continues. Two weeks after Dr. James Andrews, who performed Griffin’s surgery, referred to Griffin’s recovery as “superhuman,” HC Mike Shanahan said in an interview on NFL Network that Griffin’s hard work in rehab is already leading to significant progress. “He’s over at the facility, rehabbing all of the time. He’ll set a record for coming back because that’s how hard he works,” Shanahan said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Shanahan cautioned, however, that the Redskins won’t rush Griffin and won’t even have an estimate for when he’ll be back to full-speed on-field work until training camp starts. “He is ahead, but there’s a process. It takes time. Robert will do it the right way and we’ll find out in July exactly where he’s at,” Shanahan said. “He will not come back until he’s 100 percent. ...” And again, that's the key. Even with increasing expectations based on the comments of all involved, Fantasy owners shouldn't get too worked up at this point. We'll continue to follow up, but don't expect a firm timetable for Griffin's return in advance of training camp -- if then.
