Hey Grampi,

Bottom line is that he's way ahead of schedule in his recovery; he's doing great and there's less and less reason to worry about his recovery every day.

Dr. Andrews had been putting stem cells from, I believe, RG3's hip into his knee. This process greatly speeds up recovery and actually rebuilds the ligaments to original state (from what I've read) in about a year's time.

This is the same procedure Dr. Andrews did for Adrian Peterson. So its effectiveness has been clearly seen.

Yes, during the draft party at FedEx Field, RG3 got on stage and did jumping jacks for fans who went crazy over it.

Fred Davis and other teammates have been quoted by news outlets about how great RG3 looks.

All that being said, RG3 claims to be taking it slow so he can heal properly. Seems to me that everyone saw the writing on the wall and are doing all they can to allow his full recovery.

In a nutshell, he's doing great and we'll very likely see a lot of him next year...people are going to be shocked.

Rex Grossman is doing great, and he'll be ready for camp.

Lol. I'm 100% sure grampi is right about the lack of politeness on the interwebs and all of that. But there is just something about these threads that really should have been google searches. (I completely include myself in this criticism btw.)

Here's my top google result searching for "rgiii knee status":
