The Washington Redskins quarterback carousel might finally come to a stop Sunday as Robert Griffin III is expected to start against the Minnesota Vikings.
Conflicting reporst have emerged when it comes to RGIII’s status this weekend, but many reputable sources, including ESPN and NBC Sports, have reported that Griffin will play. The other sources maintain that the decision hasn't been made by the coaching staff yet, but his workload at practice on Thursday and Friday will determine his availability.

Griffin practiced Wednesday for the first time since dislocating his ankle Week 2 of the season. Griffin is expected to step right back into the starting role due to the fact that backup Kirk Cousins blew his chance to take the role for himself.
Cousins had an up and down series of games in which he threw 10 touchdowns to nine interceptions. The Redskins also went 1-4 in games he starter, but Colt McCoy relieved him in the win against the Tennessee Titans.

McCoy will start for the Redskins is RGIII is a late scratch, but at this point it looks like the former Offensive Rookie of the Year will make his return.
Source close to Robert Griffin III says he'll start Sunday. Several Redskins sources maintain final call not made yet. So ... Carry on.
