TheGoodBits Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wish y'all would stop with the missed time estimates. Nobody's gonna know until he gets an MRI. If it's ligament damage, which is a huge concern given how the knee bent, we won't see Griffin until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eparadox Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm expected a heavy dose of Morris next weekend, 35 carries at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 no MRI yet, so they might be wrong about it just being a sprain. Damn. They ought to have an MRI machine at the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boysetsfire Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like a severe MCL sprain. Would not be surprised to see him out 8-12 weeks. So remainder of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wish y'all would stop with the missed time estimates. Nobody's gonna know until he gets an MRI. If it's ligament damage, which is a huge concern given how the knee bent, we won't see Griffin until next year. A sprain, particularly of the MCL/LCL variety, would likely not keep him out more than a game, if that. I HIGHLY doubt he has a tear, considering his ability to weight bear and even step back out onto the field. No way do the trainers let him ambulate around if he's got suspected ligament tears (and they would know). Now, there could be meniscal damage given the spinning motion he did when he threw the ball before going out the last time. That would require surgery and would potentially keep him out all year, but there shouldn't be any long term effects. We really dodged a bullet here, I do believe.

We'll probably find out if there's a tear some time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jservs7 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 no MRI yet, so they might be wrong about it just being a sprain.Damn. They ought to have an MRI machine at the stadium Tell me about it. I feel so numb right now. I just want their to be amazing news like a damn ultra-minor sprain or even a really bad bruise. I know it might be unrealistic for it to be just that, but why is our realism full of tons of terrible news? Sorry, I'm rather emotional about this right now.

jnhay Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 RG3 runs helter skelter, legs splaying left and right = recipe for damage to his legs. He runs like a gazelle so there is always a chance for injury to his prized legs.Hope it's a sprain and he can play in a couple of weeks or so. They're always "sprains." Even the season ending kind are severe sprains. This said, I wouldn't be surprised if he survived this one pretty well. He's flexible, so hopefully that helped him right now.

How he runs was meaningless in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ought to have an MRI machine at the stadium No sense in doing an MRI until probably tomorrow. Swelling in the knee will render the MRI virtually unreadable until it goes down.

brandymac27 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 yup...made my cry. lol You and me both! I hope he's ok! The way he fell and was walking looked really bad. But for him to come in and keep playing when he's hurt just shows how dedicated he really is. He has some serious balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to walk around on an torn MCL/LCL, but you'll be able to do essentially zero lateral movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think I'm going to wait for the radio update and call it a day. I'm not logging on here if the MRI shows something very serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think it was a hyper extension. Hopefully he will be ready next week or the week after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I hope the damage isn't extensive though I wonder what would be better: RG3 in a knee brace or healthy Kirk Cousins against Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjames Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Have to think he is going to be alright fellas. They would NOT let him walk back onto the field if they suspected serious injury. He would of been wrapped in ice and bandages and not allowed to walk. probably and mcl sprain or less with a hip pointer also. I hope I am right, my non MD thoughts though. I will be walking on pins and needles til tomorrow but at the same time confident he will be ok. Waiting for the post game presser. Go Saints!

It's possible, but they aren't going to LET him. That's my point. The field tests are going to show the kind of laxity in the joint that lets them know something is badly wrong and they're going to immediately immobilize him and take him to the locker room. He isn't going to go back out onto the field if he's got some kind of severe MCL or LCL tear. They would never let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
