Any word on the progress towards the Philly game? I've only heard that he won't play unless he is deemed 100%

Probably wont hear until late Saturday/early Sunday. First indication will be tomorrow afternoon.

He will play but we wont get confirmation until Saturday night.

The way he was moving during pregame warmups makes me think he's ready to go. But, the Redskins may still be extra cautious. You never know

[The Trashman]

I guess a big question would be "is he practicing with the 1st team squad?"

If he is, then there is a strong possibility he is being prepped for Philly.

If not, then his return is more questionable.

Someone mentioned on ES that the type of injury he sustained requires 2-3 weeks of rest. I hope he's a quick healer. We really need him right now. HAIL

[Skinz4Life12]

We should know more tomorrow. Watching him pre game on Sunday, I would be shocked if they don't clear him this week

[kevinklein]

I guess we should probably ask Jay Glazer, huh?

[CaliSkinsFan92]

He looked great before the game last week and he was going full speed (so the announcers thought) I think he'll go. He'll talk to the media tomorrow and give the standard cliche responses like he did last week i'm sure lol

but this week i expect him to be out there.

I strongly believe we should start Cousins but have RG3 active. If Cousins comes in against the Eagles and handles business you allow RG3 to be 100% and fired up on the Cowboys game....I do wonder would that hurt chemistry

[Skinz4Life12]

Why would anyone start cousins if rg3 is 100 percent is what I want to know?

I think it should be the opposite. I think RG3 should start and hopefully build up a solid lead by half and then bring in the Captain to finish off the Eagles. I don't want RG3 going into the Cowboys game playing for the division title and not have played in almost 3 weeks... i think it will help get any rust off.

These doctors need to stop ****ing around and say he's good to go. Don't they know how important these last 2 games are?

I agree, if he is 100% even 105% if he is just at 98% I do not start RG3

To me this really isn't new news. He didn't play against the Browns because the doctors didn't clear him. The protocol will be the same this week. Do I want him to start? HELL YESS! That remains to be seen though and hopefully he will be allowed to do so.
