Robert Griffin III had a great rookie season. He had thrown 20 touchdown passes and just five interceptions in 15 games. Last season wasn't different, as he threw 16 touchdowns and 12 picks in 13 games. But what hindered him was a knee injury.

Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen told ESPN 950 that Griffin is now ready for this season saying "What you saw last year was almost a little disrespectful to the game of football." He added "It's impossible to ask a player to perform well during the regular season if you haven't practiced. Last year at this time, he was still rehabbing his knee, and he wasn't allowed to practice or work in team drills. We put him on the spot by trying to do that. And this year he's had a full offseason, his knee is 100 percent, knock on wood, and he's had all (the practices), and that's how you get ready to play a football season."

Griffin is happy and appreciates the support that he received coming from his coach Jay Gruden as well as the offensive coordinator Sean McVay. He said "There's just a difference in coming back from a knee injury and rehabbing as opposed to being able to work on your craft throughout the whole offseason. It's beneficial to be out there at practice, it's beneficial to be able to not have to worry about an injury. ... I'm ready to go."

Although side receiver Pierre Garcon left early during the team's practice due to a hamstring injury, it was not considered as dangerous.

Team Coach Gruden said "He left practice early. He had a couple catches and then just had a little soreness in his hamstring. He'll be OK."

Rookie LT Morgan Moses also joined practice last Monday. He practiced at left tackle but the plan remains the same for him to slide to the right side. Gruden explained "I like the way he's developing. I really do. He's big and long and he's doing a good job. He's starting to understand angles and getting out on the running game and protecting the quarterback. ... He's got a long way to go, but he's getting there."
