STATEMENT FROM JAMES R. ANDREWS, M.D., ANDREWS INSTITUTE

REGARDING PROCEDURE PERFORMED ON ROBERT GRIFFIN III

"Robert Griffin III had successful knee surgery early this morning. He had a direct repair of his LCL and a re-do of his previous ACL reconstruction. We expect a full recovery and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season.

The goal of his treatment is to give him the best opportunity for a long professional career."

**** yeah!

First post - and I wasn't in the Tailgate!

"We expect a full recovery and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season."

Great news after 3 straight days of doubt and doom.

Wake me up when September starts.

nice to hear.

Get well soon Robert!

~Bang

hope for a quick recovery! HTTR!

Wooohooo. Straight from the man who performed the surgery.

Thank you dr andrews!!!

Looking forward to watching a healthy RG3 for 15 more years. Hail!

If he gets back to 100% and is healthy for this season I am proclaiming him immortal and sending Dr. Andrews my firstborn.

Really hope Dr. Andrews knocked this surgery out of the park for us!

Thanks Doc!

sooo ... is his career over, or????

great news, now everyone can go back to complaining about other things

Sounds good. I look forward to seeing him healthy in 2013.

Best wishes to Robert on the road to recovery.

Well, good, I guess.

Insane less than a year after 'Skins draft him, we're hoping he can continue to perform at this level.

Marginally better than a nightmare, still.

Great news and, honestly, I'm not surprised. But, thank God we don't have to see another 1,000 posts in every thread about his career being over now, at least.

I think it moved. No, check that. It DID move.

Glad to hear it from Andrews

Maybe the "How is RG3" thread can finally end.

Great to hear. I wish him the best in his recovery period.

Get well soon Robert! We all love you man!

Glad to hear it from Andrews

Maybe the "How is RG3" thread can finally end.

Blasphemy!

Glad to hear it from Andrews

Maybe the "How is RG3" thread can finally end.

That thread is gonna go down in ES history.

Great news! Get well soon Robert!

Maybe now the would-be extremeskins expert medical team that was convinced RG3s career was over and at the very best he had no chance of playing in 2013 can just go away.

great news, now everyone can go back to complaining about other things
