(AP) — Robert Griffin III moved better on his sprained right knee at practice Thursday, apparently improving his chances of playing in the Washington Redskins' game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

(AP) — All the medical terms associated with Robert Griffin III's knee injury can be boiled down to one simple message: It's not too bad. Beyond that, there are still some very important unknowns. The NFL's top-rated quarterback might or might not play Sunday when the Washington Redskins visit the Cleveland Browns. Coach Mike Shanahan, knowin...

(AP) — When the New York Giants made their run to the Super Bowl a year ago, a 99-yard touchdown catch and run by Victor Cruz against the Jets seemed to be the ignition point. It was a play that woke up an inconsistent team and turned it into a power. If the 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday turns out to be the victory ...
