The Redskins are getting RG3 back on the field this week, unless something new happens between now and Sunday.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Robert Griffin III will play against the Eagles unless he has a setback before gameday.

“If there’s no setbacks, he should be ready to go,” Shanahan said, via Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

Griffin was a full participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday.

He missed last week’s game with a mild LCL sprain, and Shanahan said doctors believe his right knee will be healed sufficiently by Sunday.
