The Facts:
So what do you do when a prominent nationally known NFL "insider" reports something that can't possibly be known? Well, when it's Adam Schefter and he's going to be on ESPN every five minutes for the rest of the day telling the world the same thing, you pass it along -- and try to put it in context. In this case, Schefter's tweet stating (without much equivocation or wiggle room): "What Washington wanted: Redskins QB Robert Griffin III will start their Monday night opener against the Eagles" left out an important note. Griffin still hasn't received final medical clearance from Dr. James Andrews. Until that comes, nothing is official.

So when will we have that? A source with knowledge of the situation told CSNWashington.com's Tarik El-Bashir that the Redskins quarterback still is
scheduled to meet with Andrews in Tampa, where the team plays its final preseason game Thursday. Although the meeting is widely viewed as a formality, Griffin will not receive final clearance until after Andrews examines Griffin, El-Bashir's source said. So there. We'll obviously continue to follow up (subscribers can hit our
