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 . . .
I would be for playing him if he is clear but I don't think that Kirk loses us the game unless he throws a ton of picks. Mistake free ball will win. Limit the penalties and turnovers.
I think he sits this week.
Thats a big task --- eliminating penalties. I don't know what it is with this team and the undisciplined nature of their play. I suspect that if RGIII does not play, we may see a lot more of Alfred Morris and Evan Royster.
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 . . .
