Now we can all exhale.
Injury is a right knee sprain. No decision or time table on RGIII.

YEY!! . . . now hope its not too bad of a sprain!!
if he has to sit out a game i am not sure if we can win. Dont really know how Cousins will do for an entire game. And Cleveland for the past 2-3 weeks has actually started to look like an NFL team, so they will not be a pushover.
agree . . . cleveland's D has been playing great and the offense not too bad either . . .Originally Posted by BamaSkins
The important thing is to avoid aggravating RG3's injury even if that means missing the playoffs. The future of this team is riding on his good health. And for some odd reason, I have a lot of confidence in Cousins though. He isn't RG3 but he just may pull it off the way he came into the Ravens game and did the job.
Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has given the Redskins' rookie sensation a new title –- one typically reserved for knights.
"His name is Sir," said Umenyiora, who was born in London. "His name is Sir Robert Griffin. That is what I refer to him now.
if he is medically cleared to play, then he should play . . . he is a football player after all . . . if not, we roll with cousins and see what he can do with a week as the starter in practice and a game plan designed around his strengths . . .
Keep in mind that is the same knee he had a torn ACL on in 2009 which sidelined him for almost a year. Medical research shows that athletes who have one torn ACL are at high risk of having another one when they return to play.

the MRI showed no issues whatsoever with the ACL, MCL or PCL . . . just a stretch (grade 1 sprain) of the LCL . . . as for knee sprains go, that is as minor as it gets . . . i'm not saying the should play just to play, but we didn't draft him to be a ballerina dancer, we drafted him to be a football player . . . football players play through pain as long as its not detrimental to his long term health . . .
I agree with this. Truthfully i would have no problem with him sitting this week to get his health in order. But if he is cleared to play by the docs then he will play. He was more than willing to go back in the game last week so i dont see him not playing if he has been cleared.
He was drafted to be a football player sure, but we didn't draft him to burn him up and throw him away in one season either. But for some people he's like a new toy and they can't get enough.
