Robert Griffin III expects to return to Washington Redskins lineup

Robert Griffin III has returned to full practice following a knee sprain that kept him out of the Washington Redskins' game against the Cleveland Browns last weekend.

The rookie quarterback will continue to be evaluated ahead of this Sunday's game at the Philadelphia Eagles, but the team is confident he will be ready.

RG3 told reporters: "I was able to go through a full practice, so that was good.

"I feel good. It was exciting to get back out there and practice with everybody, get ready for the game."

Kirk Cousins filled in for Griffin last weekend, leading the Skins to a win over Cleveland which moves them closer to seal a playoff place.
