The Facts:
With uncertainty remaining about whether Griffin's timetable will allow him to start the 2013 season on time, the QB was asked if he believed it would be possible to start Week 1 against the Eagles even if he doesn't take a snap during the preseason. "I've thought about that and yeah, I would be comfortable with that," said Griffin, via The Washington Post. "That's all I can say. I have no control over whether I play in the preseason or not. I would be comfortable running out of the tunnel at FedEx Field with the smoke and everything."

HC Mike Shanahan didn't shut down the idea. "You'd have to practice. ... Not necessarily against an opponent," Shanahan said. "He'd have to work with the first-team offense and he'd have to have some practice time. ..." In case you haven't been following along, Griffin continues to make positive strides in his return from reconstructive knee surgery. Dr. James Andrews, Griffin's orthopedic surgeon, said in March that the Washington Redskins quarterback's recovery has been "superhuman." Just remember: Even if Griffin has a great chance to start Week 1, the Redskins aren't going to take any gambles with the face of their franchise. Not after all the controversy surrounding the last time they took chances with him.
