ASHBURN, Va. - If Robert Griffin III is completely ready, hell start for the Washington Redskins against the Dallas Cowboys next Monday night.If hes not, Colt McCoy — rather than Kirk Cousins — will be Washingtons quarterback.Robert has to, first of all, be honest with himself and how hes feeling, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday.Griffin, the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined since dislocating his left ankle in Week 2 against Jacksonville.I wouldnt rule him out. Hes got a ways to go to show that he can play, show that that ankles 100 per cent. Thats the big thing, Gruden said. Hes got to be 100 per cent ready to go. We dont want to put him out there at 85 per cent and have it be weak and have him do something else to it. We want to make sure hes ready to go if hes out there.At practice last Wednesday, Griffin threw passes in individual and 1-on-1 drills for the first time since his latest injury.On Sunday, before Washingtons 19-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans, Griffin was out on the field, taking snaps and throwing passes.Cousins, who took over as the starter during Griffins absence, was benched at halftime after his 10th and 11th turnovers of the season, and McCoy led the comeback that ended a four-game losing streak for the Redskins (2-5).A series of decisions will need to be made for Griffin to return. First, the team trainer and doctors will need to give the go-ahead.Then Griffin will need to say OK, after figuring out, according to Gruden, Can he cut without pain? Can he run without pain? Is he full speed? Is it sturdy enough?And if he says, Yes, then I have to feel comfortable about putting Robert out there in the game, Gruden explained. Well go through that process.If, instead, McCoy begins the game against NFC East leader Dallas (6-1), it would be his first NFL start since December 2011, when he was with the Cleveland Browns.He does have great intangibles, in my mind. Hes very poised. Hes a great competitor. And I feel like hes going to get us in the right play and make the right throw, Gruden said about McCoy.Hes had some opportunities to succeed in the past as a starter, and had some rough patches. But hes here for a reason. And Ive always liked his demeanour.After the Redskins home crowd booed the team off the field at halftime, with the Titans leading 10-6, McCoy took over at quarterback, and his first pass, a simple curl route, was turned into a 70-yard touchdown by Pierre Garcon.It was McCoys first NFL pass attempt in nearly a year, his first TD toss since December 2012 with Cleveland, and the longest scoring throw of a career that began as a third-round draft pick out of Texas in 2010.In all, he was 11 for 12 for 128 yards against the Titans.I like Jay a lot, and when Jay came and told me to be ready to play, I just didnt want to let him down, McCoy said Sunday. If he goes with you, and you go in and turn the ball over, and dont start fast, or dont win the game, or dont play well, that just doesnt look good.Notes: LB Brian Orakpo will miss the rest of the season because of a torn right pectoral muscle. Thatll be a big loss, Gruden said. Orakpo, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, had a half-sack this season but Gruden said hes been very good against the run.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Custom Atlanta Falcons Jerseys .
