Robert Griffin III will start Redskins' season opener

Despite concerns expressed by Dr. James Andrews in a conference call Sunday, Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said quarterback Robert Griffin III is "ready to go, full speed ahead," for Monday night's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

"We're all on the same page," Shanahan said after watching Griffin participate in a full practice at Redskins Park Monday. "We feel very good about where he's at. He will start Monday unless he has some crazy kind of setback."

Shanahan would not elaborate on what concerns Andrews expressed on the call, which included RG3, Redskins general manager Bruce Allen and a member of the team's training staff.

Despite a brace on his surgically repaired right knee, Griffin appeared nimble and his passes looked crisp during Monday's position drills.

Griffin executed a diverse series of plays with the first unit. After throwing 10-yard warm-up passes -- some to fourth-string quarterback Pat White -- the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year zipped a completion on his first play, a quick out to Josh Morgan with no defense involved.

Operating out of the shotgun, he practiced handoffs with Alfred Morris and even ran a quarterback keep to his left on his third play of the sequence. That was a good sign for a quarterback who scampered for 815 yards on 120 carries in his rookie season.

The first 30 minutes of the workout concluded with Griffin spreading around completions to Pierre Garçon, Morgan, Santana Moss and practice squad wideout Nick Williams.

"He looked great," linebacker Brian Orakpo said. "Robert is back to being himself."

Moss, who caught a team-leading eight touchdown passes last season, wasn't quite ready to make the same assessment.

"In practice, you can't look great. Practice is practice," Moss said. "But that's why we practice -- so come Monday we can look, collectively, good together."

The second overall pick in the 2012 draft, Griffin reinjured his knee in the Redskins' wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks and required surgery to repair his anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in January.

He accompanied the team to Tampa, where he met with Andrews before the Redskins' preseason finale Thursday. Griffin, who did not play during Washington's 4-0 preseason, is not scheduled to address the media until after Wednesday's practice.
