Crazed Bengal Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I didn't see the second half of the game and only just read about his knee injury. Will he be ok and ready to go next year? Any news on how he's doing? I pray he's ok and just tweaked an old injury. That man is a great quarterback and all around football player. All my prayers are going out to him tonight.

No_Pressure Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Likely won't know until the next few days. If he had fully torn something I don't think he would have been out on the sidelines walking around like he was. The sprain that he had, though a bad one, is something he will recover from in a matter of weeks. Hopefully in time for spring training. They need to send him down with the Nationals so the coaches there can teach him how to slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJD2 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 One of the talking heads on NFLN (Faulk I think) sait it looked like an MCL to him on that bad snap when he finally left the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindx Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 He's going to get an MRI. The bad thing about this injury is that his knee buckled inward. That means that it's either ACL or MCL or both. Judging from the way it bent I would guess MCL I'm hoping for grade 1 or 2 strain at most on those ligaments and no surgery. Since it didn't bend that far inward it could also be a dislocated or subluxed patella which also would be unlikely to require surgery. But yeah... Pic of injury if anyone wants to look at it again: http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/1/6/3844114/rg3-injury-griffin-suffers-gruesome-knee-injury He should be good to go for next season I think.

ncr2h Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Looks pretty horrific to me. And he had his weight on it this time, unlike the last one. Just about the worst way we could have lost tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the team needs to send Shanahan down to talk to Coach Johnson to learn a few things about saving your star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 But the brace should have kept things from moving too far and keep them from tearing. That's what it was already there for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binton Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Guys if you could answer this it would be appreciated, what hit lead to RG3 being really injured in this game? Was it the cheap shop from Irvin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseGoForTheWin Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just hope he's OK with some rest and rehab. And, for next year, I hope that both he and the coaches are more effective at keeping him healthy. No unnecessary hits in the middle of games on small gains, no unnecessary 1 yard scrambles when he can throw the ball away, and slide feet first instead of diving head first so often. I'm looking forward to a healthy (Orakpo, Carriker, Merriweather) team and some new draft/FA talent making a run next year. Use the success from this year to grow.

Butchie_T Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The one thing going for RG3 is the brace. When he went down it bent the wrong way for sure. Hopefully the brace stopped or limited the damage. I guess we'll know by tomorrow or Tuesday for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the cheap shop from Irvin? I think it was around the start of the second quarter when he ran the ball to the outside on the right and got rolled on by a few Seahawk defenders.

redskins59 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Listen to his post-game conference. He did not rule out torn ACL. I think he tore his ACL, although he was walking around on the sideline after the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUSkins24 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Man, I missed the severity of it until I just saw it. Really gruesome movement on that knee. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers. ---------- Post added January-6th-2013 at 09:03 PM ---------- A lot of dumbassery being posted on FB now. I guess it's best if I just stay off of it.

Murphs56 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If it's the ACL, he won't be back until At least October and that's being positive since it would be the second time on the same knee. If it's anything else, he'll be ready to go for the start of the year most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempre_victrix Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Unfortunately I've gotta agree. It looked really bad The camera angle from the defensive side didn't look quite as bad. I am hoping that his knee just wouldn't go any more and buckled a bit, possibly aggravating the LCL injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wouldn't the brace provide some protection from a more severe injury? I am hoping that it provided some stability that added to the buckle affect since it could not give and perhaps prevent a severe injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything else, he'll be ready to go for the start of the year most likely ACL rehab takes about 6-8 months to be able to run on it again. Full speed by 8-10ish months (or more depending on the player), full cutting by 10-12ish. General time frames obviously. He won't be full speed, but he will be good enough to play on it by August if he had it torn and surgery. They still might hold him out though. Also, Adrian Peterson is not human.... playing running back by the start of the season (9 months) and then by October or 10 months beasting out for over 2k yards by the end of 12 months. ---------- Post added January-6th-2013 at 09:39 PM ---------- Wouldn't the brace provide some protection from a more severe injury? I am hoping that it provided some stability that added to the buckle affect since it could not give and perhaps prevent a severe injury. The brace he had on does limit medial-lateral movement of the knee, but since it's not fully rigid you can see it flexed some and thus you can still injure yourself.

darknessplayas Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 LL @HTTR24_7 RT @dshif: After the Baltimore game, Griffin was emphatic that he had not torn his ACL. This time? Not so much. He's unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Full Disclosure: I have been a Seahawk season ticket holder since '99, and my home address is actually on Seahawks way. That being said NONE and I mean NONE of us wanted to see RG3 like that. We have great respect for him and your team. Today's game is exactly why I didn' t want to face your team. We, the REAL 12th man and not the jack asses who ruin things for us, wish for the full and quick recovery OF RG3. I expect we will get the chance to play you all at full strength very soon, and what a win that will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 i can't believe that both times this game, his knee got jacked with literally no contact from Seattle players. None. How is that possible if this injury was only a grade 1 LCL sprain that should healed in 4 weeks? Not to mention he is wearing a brace. What good is the brace if it doesn't prevent things like this (non contact) from happening? ---------- Post added January-6th-2013 at 10:09 PM ---------- Full Disclosure: I have been a Seahawk season ticket holder since '99, and my home address is actually on Seahawks way.

I'm sure you are a great fan, but considering Seahawk fans taunted a dead Sean Talyor in 2007, a lot of us here really don't want to hear it.
