BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III will practice next week, coach Hue Jackson said Friday.

Though Griffin will be able to practice, he needs to clear one more medical hurdle before he will be cleared for contact to play in a game.

Jackson said he thought that exam would take place next week.

"He will have the opportunity to start practicing next week and go out there with his teammates and perform and do what he can do," Jackson said. "But there will still be one more medical hurdle for him to clear to be totally cleared to play."

It's possible and perhaps even likely that Griffin will return to practice in a limited capacity. He is returning from a broken coracoid bone and has not played since the season opener.

Jackson gave that tidbit of information while answering a question from "junior reporter" Jaden Berk, 14, from Warren, Ohio. Two years ago, Berk made a guest appearance on ESPN's SportsNation.
