Default Griffin partial tear to acl and mcl

Seems like a class act even if he is a Deadskin.

The Washington Post hears from a team source that initial test results on QB Robert Griffin's injured right knee revealed "partial tears" of the ACL and LCL. There's still a lot we don't know here. The team isn't sure if these are new injuries, or aggravations of RG3's LCL injury this year and ACL injury back in 2009. It's also unclear if Griffin will need surgery, or how long he'll be sidelined. Hopefully we'll find out more after his visit with Dr. James Andrews tomorrow. RG3's right knee has definitely become a long-term concern though.

Don't wish that on anyone.

T minus 10 seconds until the "old school" guys shout you down for not being a true fan and not having any pride in the Cowboys for expressing legitimate concern for a legitimately decent guy.

I take no joy in this injury.
That implies that if he wasn't an alleged class guy it would be ok.

Just heard that he actually had an ACL tear since that Ravens game but RG3 wanted them to keep quiet about it and didn't want people to freak out. Makes sense considering Shannahan originally mentioned an ACL tear and then backtracked later on.

I've torn my left ACL twice. There is no way RG3 played 2 NFL games with a torn ACL.

Partial tears can be worse the actual tears because the ligaments don't regrow. You just strengthen the muscles around them.

Philip Rivers played with a torn ACL and fathered two children during it.

not an RG3 fan but I don't like to see this. Hopefully his career isnt cut short due to his knees.
hope he has a speedy recovery

I thought that was an MCL. Oops...you're right. Torn ACL. No idea how you could even do that.

Well I care, because RG3 is a Texas kid that went to Baylor.


While I hate the Redskins, I am a fan of RG3 and I hate to hear that he may miss all or part of the 2013 season.

Believe it or not, you can be a fan of different players around the league without being a fan of the team they are on.
As the official head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Jason Garrett is 16-16............"Its a Process of stacking good days"
