In a surprise that probably everyone saw coming, ESPN is reporting Robert Griffin, III will be starting the opening game against Newport News native Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The doctor still has to clear RGIII and Washington won't comment on the matter.

During training camp in Richmond, the quarterback said he was ready to go.

The doctor is traveling with the team to Tampa for the final preseason game tomorrow.

You can watch the last pre-season game right here on NewsChannel 3.

Coverage of the Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is scheduled to start at 7:30 tomorrow night.
