Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith recounts the story, Philadelphia radio and TV reporter Howard Eskin wrote on Twitter on Saturday, citing unnamed sources, that Dr. Andrews had recommended to the Redskins that they not play Griffin until after their Week 5 bye, which would mean Griffin wouldn’t get on the field until Week 6 at Dallas on October 13. Eskin added, however, that HC Mike Shanahan was expected to play Griffin in Week 1 regardless of Andrews’ recommendation. ... The Redskins quickly put out word that the report was false. Although the team didn’t make any official statement, multiple Redskins beat writers heard from an unnamed team source who denied the report. Chick Hernandez of CSNWashington.com, John Keim of ESPN and Mike Jones of the Washington Post all took to Twitter to say that a Redskins source had told them the report is false. ... Stay tuned. It's safe to assume we haven't heard the last of this one.
