Robert Griffin III insists that he is nearly fully fit upon his return to full training sessions with the Washington Redskins.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has insisted that he is almost back to full fitness following his return to 11-on-11 training drills.

Griffin had previously been restricted to seven-on-seven training but took part in a full-team walkthrough on Monday and will participate in drills on Tuesday.

"New phase, new hair, let's do it," Griffin told NFL.com. "More reps in practice. Being a football player.

"I don't think it's a huge step, I just think it's time to get back out there with my teammates."

"I've proven I can protect myself and I'm dang near close to 100% so I feel good and now I'm glad that coach [Mike Shanahan] feels the same way."

Griffin is expected to be fully fit in time for the 2013 season having impressed in his rookie year in 2012.
