Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins told NFL Network that starter Robert Griffin III looked "awesome" during offseason workouts. Griffin is working his way back from multiple torn ligaments in his right knee.
Cousins said he's preparing to be the starter in case Griffin isn't ready but believes Griffin will be ready for Week 1.
"Obviously he is a bit of a freak in terms of his athleticism but he's healed very quickly," Cousins said. "He couldn't practice with us, he was on a spate field doing drills all spring ... he looked really good and I think he'll be ready to go in Week 1. But obviously my mindset is to be ready no matter what. And I'm getting ready all summer so I can be ready if called upon."
