ASHBURN, Va. >> Robert Griffin III returned to practice Wednesday for the Washington Redskins, throwing passes in individual and one-on-one drills in his first such work since he dislocated his left ankle in Week 2.

Griffin wore cleats with high ankle support and looked a bit rusty. His first pass hit fullback Darrel Young on the back of the shin, but he also had some good throws during the one-on-ones when defensive backs were covering receivers.

Griffin took the first snap in each of the drills early in the practice, ahead of current starter Kirk Cousins

Coach Jay Gruden has said Griffin might begin taking full-team snaps next week.

Griffin isn’t expected to play until Nov. 2 against Minnesota at the earliest. A more likely scenario has him back Nov. 16 against Tampa Bay following the bye.

Griffin was hurt early in a 41-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 14. The Redskins (1-5) have since lost four straight with Cousins.
