Robert Griffin III will start at quarterback for Washington this week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Griffin is coming back from a non-contact ankle injury.

“I’m ready to go, ready to play, get back out there with the guys and have fun. That’s what it is,” Griffin said. “God didn’t put us on this earth to be normal. So I’m not gonna go out there and try to be a normal quarterback. I’m gonna go out there and be the quarterback he’s called me to be.”

DeAngelo Hall, who tore his Achilles tendon last month and underwent surgery to repair it, tore it again this week and will have to redo the surgery, according to sources.

Hall still is likely to be ready for next summer's training camp, though this second injury and surgery will make it that much more difficult.

Robert Griffin III will start for Wednesday this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

NBC4 D.C. earlier reported the decision.

Griffin hasn't played since dislocating his left ankle in Week 2.

Colt McCoy helped lead Washington to a victory on Monday over the Dallas Cowboys.

Robert Griffin III practiced in full on Wednesday for the first time since he dislocated his ankle in Week 2.

Griffin also split first-team reps with Colt McCoy on Wednesday.

Washington plays the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

McCoy will start if Griffin remains unavailable.

Brian Orakpo has suffered a torn right pectoral muscle and will miss the remainder of the season.

Team officials told ESPN.com on Sunday night that they feared this outcome.

It's the third time he's torn a pectoral muscle, though the first two were on the left side, with one of those tears costing him the final 14 regular-season games in 2012.

Orakpo's tenure with Washington could be over.

Colt McCoy will start for Washington at quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys if Robert Griffin III is unavailable.

Kirk Cousins was benched in the second half after another interception and McCoy led Washington to a 19-17 come-from-behind win.

McCoy hasn't started an NFL game since December 2011.

Washington will start Robert Griffin III at quarterback whenever he's ready to return to game action.

Kirk Cousins has been inconsistent in his starts for Washington since Griffin dislocated his ankle.

“Once they say he’s healthy and he practices with us and we feel like he’s ready to go mentally and we have a good game plan for him, then he’ll be the starter,” Jay Gruden said. “But I don’t know when that will be yet. It’s hard for me to project. It could be one week, two weeks. It could be five weeks.”

Griffin returned to practice on Wednesday, and although he was limited to individual drills, it was his first significant step toward returning from the dislocated left ankle he suffered in Week 2.

Dan Snyder watched Washington's game at the Arizona Cardinals with Ben Shelly, president of teh Navajo Nation tribal authority.

Snyder has had an ongoing campaign attempting to convince the public that his team's nickname isn't racist.

Shelly is technically still president, but finished seventh in August's primary election.

Shelly entered office under a dark cloud, being charged with fraud, conspiracy and theft in connection with allegations that he had dipped into slush funds to benefit himself and family members. 

The Navajo tribal council voted 9-2 in April to formally oppose Washington's nickname.
