FlaSk1nsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Rehab time 6-8 months and they say he should be good to go for the start of next season so thats good. I hope they take better care of him next year. Get well soon RG3. Tech his surgery is later today (7-8AM EST) as in Wed morning. Sorry I havent gone to bed yet so to me its still Tues. vid: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/id/8827480/sources-robert-griffin-iii-washington-redskins-acl-lcl-surgery-ready-opener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Prayers and good vibes for Robert and his family. I would'nt be surprised if he sits out the 2013 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Assuming no setbacks I'd be willing to guess he will be ready to go Week 1.....the question is how much missing the entire offseason will effect him and how long it's going to take for him to get the burst back in his step and/or get over the mental barrier to have confidence to plant firmly on that knee when he throws the ball.

PigskinPhat Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Total ACL? that's the season right there! See Derrick Rose, he's up to 8 months and still no contact. Pointless to play a less than 100% RG3. Take the whole season off. Hopes and prayers for a successful operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his youth and how fit he is I bet he is his old self first snap of the season. Medicine has come so far from even 5 yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeen80 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I also find it doubtful he's miss the 2013 season. Thats just typical Redskins pessimism. I think he'll be ready at 100%, and at worse, maybe miss 1 month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless to play a less than 100% RG3. Take the whole season off. What they said on ESPN is that whats torn in the ACL is the repair that was done back when he was in college so its defined as an ACL tear but they way they talked about it is that its not as bad as if it were like what happened to A.P. So sounds like the repiar part got messed up and just needs to be done with the ACL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSk1nsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 this didn't need to be a new thread. Its rather major and new news, would you rather have this burried in one of the three threads that were all over the map and not confirmed info? Dont tell me your more worried about being the thread police than the fact our superstar qb is having his knee put back together in a few hrs at the end of his first season.....lets get some perspective please ---------- Post added January-9th-2013 at 01:28 AM ---------- Link to this story please Turn on ESPN..... Its all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter Uh-oh: @mortreport reports Robert Griffin III will undergo total reconstruction surgery of his right knee early Wednesday morning. 1:25 AM Griffin's recovery is projected at 6-to-8 months w/ rehabilitation that will focus on his quad strength to protect and help stabilize knee. 1:28 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSk1nsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Based on what the report I heard on ESPN was it sounded better then all the doom and gloom in the wash post and all over espn etc has been all day. They said 6 months is the time frame the docs gave but they always add a few months just incase which is where the 8 comes from. So actually he may be up and running around this summer which would be great. The report sounded way better than what I have been reading all day. The ticker on espn says "he is expected to be ready for the season opener" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCA77 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I agree that this should be a new thread. Damn, too many "thread police" on here.

FlaSk1nsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 6-8 months is pushing it. Is it possible? Sure. Is it foolhardy? Yes. Sorry, Im gonna take the world class Dr. on this one and if they say 6-8 months thats what I am going to believe. No dissrespect but I take it you have not gone to med school nor do ACL LCL reconstructons? Neither do I so Ill defer to what the dr.'s say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphs56 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 All I remember the last time is RG III said he was really down and disappointed but would sit on a chair and throw footballs to his Dad constantly to improve his throwing. 2 years later he won the Heisman...You have to think he'll be a better thrower because of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
