The Redskins plan to keep Griffin (concussion) on their roster as the second-string quarterback no matter what the results of Griffin's Friday neurological exam say, Jeff Darlington of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This isn't exactly a surprise as Griffin seems to continue to have allies among Washington's top decision-makers. Darlington's report also says that Colt McCoy will be the second string for Week 1 against the Dolphins, giving Griffin more time to heal. By keeping Griffin, Washington is risking a potential injury to him, which would guarantee Griffin's $16.2 million option that was picked up last spring. This situation is clearly volatile enough that we'll never have a static depth chart with little controversy, so Griffin will probably see some starts down the road, especially if Kirk Cousins struggles out of the gates.
