Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is pleased with the speed of Pierre Garcon's recovery from shoulder surgery.

Mike Shanahan has described Pierre Garcon's recovery from labrum surgery as "unbelievable".

The Washington Redskins wide receiver underwent an operation to repair the shoulder injury after the team was knocked out of the playoffs in January.

The NFC East champions' head coach told ESPN: "I think Pierre, his rehab has been unbelievable. Anytime you get operated on like he did and you're able to come back as quickly as he has, I was watching him this morning in the weight room, and he was lifting weights that he shouldn't be able to lift.

"And he feels very comfortable, and it's been a slow process. But he's in excellent shape, so I'll be surprised if he's not full speed, ready to go once we go to training camp."

Garcon took part in a workout with injured quarterback Robert Griffin III yesterday.
