Redskins coach Jay Gruden said quarterback Colt McCoy's strong play the past two games won't affect the timetable for Robert Griffin III's return. "No matter what happens," Gruden told the Washington Post, the Redskins won't rush Griffin back from his ankle injury.
Griffin is "very, very, very close," Gruden added, saying Griffin will be reevaluated by doctors after Wednesday's practice. Griffin has missed six straight games. Washington visits Minnesota on Sunday before getting a bye.
