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. |

The Redskins did give up WAAAYYY too much to get him though considering he is a huge injury risk. As someone said, he needs to take a year off and learn to become an effective pocket passer. |

The Cartilage is a bigger problem, like mcaj22 is saying, than the other things. He probably won't be as explosive.

two tears leaving very little to no cartilage left in the knee for bone to bone, and will/could suffer chronic pain the rest of his career though not degenerative, still is exactly what Brandon Roy suffered, though RGIII took a different path to get there, (two ACL tears) If there is no cartilage left to operate on, his knee is going to take a POUNDING just being bone to bone |
