The season opener for the Washington Redskins is seven months away, but that doesn’t stop the team from being optimistic.  Per Adam Schefter, Redskins brass feel RG3 is on a good pace, and are encouraged he can start the season opener.

Redskins officials already are encouraged enough with @rgiii‘s recovery to believe he has a legitimate chance to start on opening day.

Griffin III stated at NFL Honors that week 1 was his ultimate goal.

 ”I’m going to take it slow. My goal is Week 1, that’s all I’m really worried about, so I’ll make sure I’m ready to go.”

I think the recovery of Jamaal Charles and most impressively, Adrian Peterson gives the Skins hope that Griffin III, who has an incredible work ethic can return.
