RG3 is back in town
I had heard that Robert Griffin III was back in town last week but I couldn’t confirm it. Over the weekend RG3 himself confirmed that he has now moved his rehab back to Ashburn and he did so in a very public way.
On Friday night he was at Constitution Hall to see comedian Mike Epps. Then on Saturday he went to the Verizon Center to see Disney on Ice. There, he drew the “RG3, RG3, RG3” chants that have become part of the scene whenever the quarterback appears at public events.
Some are taking this as evidence that Griffin is ahead of schedule in his knee rehab. It was originally thought that he would spend six to seven weeks at Dr. James Andrews’ facility in Pensacola. Since he is back early (on Wednesday it will be six weeks since the surgery) that must mean he’s doing better than expected, right?
Not necessarily. About the most positive interpretation would be that Griffin hasn’t had any setbacks to speak of. That’s certainly good but it doesn’t mean that he is significantly ahead of schedule.
