"I could (have brought) Robert back three weeks ago," Shanahan said. "We could be sitting here right now,
Cheap Football Jerseys, him practicing three or three weeks ago and all of a sudden something happens with that ACL and we're sitting here saying, 'Well, we should've waited an extra week or two.'"
Shanahan has allowed Griffin to run 7-on-7 drills during training camp but not full 11-on-11s, saying that the unpredictability of those plays could lead to sudden movements that could reinjure Griffin's knee. Griffin was psyched about getting to run his first 11-on-11 plays on Tuesday, saying it would make him feel like "a football player" again. However, Shanahan said Griffin's 11-on-11 work won't start until Wednesday and that it will be only a "couple of reps" to help the team prepare for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
