Highlights from RGIII Press Conference 7/29/13: Redskins QB Could Ramp Up Workload Next Week

Robert Griffin III took to the podium on Monday morning to update the press on his knee, his practice schedule, and he also had a few kind words to say about his receivers. Here are the highlights via Twitter:

RG3 on difficulty of standing around watching: "I call it 'Operation Patience.'" #Redskins

Griffin got "a few reps in walkthrough today, and that's a little bump up from last week."

#Redskins' Griffin said the brace on his knee isn't an issue. It was bothersome last year because he didn't play with it earlier. Now he is.

Griffin: "I don't really think of my leg anymore. I'm just playing football, and that's a good thing."

Ha ha....@RGIII says "Pierre (Garcon) is angry" and plays angry on gameday. Also says they call @JoshMorgan a "goon" #Redskins

RG3 says he feels he can plant on his back leg like he did before the injury.

RG3: "Physically, I have no pain, no swelling. ...Mentally, there's no mental obstacle for me at all." #Redskins

— Rich Campbell (@Rich_Campbell) July 29, 2013

RG3 plans to wear brace all this season, but not all of his career.

RG3 says this *could* be his final week as a spectator during team drills -- if all goes well. #ReskinsTalk

Griffin's goal: show (once things ramp up) that he can make it through 6 straight days of practice, then thinks freedom will come.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) July 29, 2013

RG3 said based on timing and rhythm early in camp, it doesn't feel like he missed the offseason.

— John Keim (@john_keim) July 29, 2013

#Redskins' Griffin on Garcon: "I'm gonna lean on him, he's gonna lean on me, and I think we're going to be able to make some things happen."

— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) July 29, 2013

RG3 was asked which player has impressed him the most during camp so far: "Aldrick Robinson.. He's a guy we have to get on the field more."
