surgery on RGIII’s knee reveals damage to the ACL
Source says surgery on Robert Griffin III’s knee reveals damage to the ACL of the Washington Redskins QB
The Washington Redskins quarterback had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The procedure also examined Griffin’s ACL. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, January 9, 2013, 11:57 L. Todd Spencer/AP Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III reinjures his right knee as he falls awkwardly while throwing an incomplete pass under pressure from Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith. WASHINGTON - A person familiar with the situation says the surgery on Robert Griffin III’s knee revealed damage to the ACL. The Washington Redskins quarterback had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The procedure also examined Griffin’s ACL, which he tore while playing for Baylor in 2009. Another torn ACL would complicate Griffin’s chances of returning by the start of next season. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not made an announcement about the latest details surrounding the rookie quarterback’s injury. Griffin sprained the LCL last month and reinjured the knee in Sunday’s playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. John Lok/AP A hobbled Redskins QB Robert Griffin III lies on the ground after fumbling the ball against the Seattle Seahawks during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Wild Card loss. |

Not surprising.
The good news is an ACL is no longer a career death sentence. He will be back, just fine, next season.

I thought I read somewhere that they found a full tear of the ACL and LCL.

Good enough for normal knee function, not for an athlete. They are replacing it. Quote:

I heard on the radio this morning (before 7:00 AM CST) that they had already determined that he had a complete tear of the ACL and were reconstructing it in today's surgery along with fixing the partial tear in the LCL.

Love this guy's talent.
Don't love what I think is going to be an injury riddled, short career. He takes a lot of hits. |

That's the offensive scheme IMO -- Shanny went for broke this season... He broke.

Hasn't he already broken his leg twice in the past?

Can we scrap the read option in the NFL now? It's fun to watch but gets guys hurt.
Unless your QB is freaky big like Cam Newton, just doesn't make sense to me. |

Boy, it's not often I lament over an athlete's injury, but this is an exception. He's not 12 years into his career. This ****ing sucks for him, and it's much worse than Berry's, or Charle's, or Moeaki's injury. He may never be the same again, and he was supposed to be special.

I don't know why they pushed him so hard this season, I realize its the playoffs but no excuse, he was looking like his knee hurt all game even before that bad snap...
