Dr. Andrews: RG3 ahead of schedule

Dr. James Andrews says that Robert Griffin III is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL and LCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Griffin took home NFL Offensive Rookie Of the Year honours for leading the Redskins to an NFC East division title and the franchise's first playoff berth in five years. The 23-year-old quarterback threw for 3200 yards and 20 touchdown passes while running for 815 yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

Griffin was originally expected to miss 6-8 months after undergoing surgery to repair his right knee ligaments in January, but it's unknown how ahead of schedule he is.
