Robert Griffin III has said that his knee feels better every day as he prepares for the playoffs.
The Washington Redskins quarterback sustained a sprain against the Baltimore Ravens last month, and has been limping during games since.
The 22-year-old told the Washington Post: "I know a lot of people talk about the limp with the brace, but anytime you wear a brace like that, it's to protect you, so it's gonna cause a natural limp.
"It's getting pretty close to just being mostly the brace. But the doctors aren't going to let me take it off.
"It restricts your flexion and your extension, so it's just to protect the ligaments in there, so there'll be a natural limp in there, but at the same time you can still generate power."
The Redskins face a home game against the Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs this weekend.
