Robert Griffin III faces mild concussion

[ddub52]

I think everyone needs to chill out after a loss and accept that football is a physical sport and people get hurt. With that being said he WILL be fine and more than likely starting next week. Relax people. Relax.

Aaron Rodgers has had several concussions. He figured out how to avoid getting hit so much. Hopefully RG3 can do the same. soon

This is my concern, "two concussions in less than a year"
I remember RG3 had a concussion against Texas Tech in 2011. This is two in less than a year. Think it happened 11/26/11

and
I was about to post the same thing. I think he will play though next week.

Hopefully he learns from this. There was absolutely no reason to absorb that hit.

This. Hopefully they drill it into his head to throw it away or get the **** out of bounds.

For our franchise QB, I'd like to be overly cautious.

I didn't think Aldrick should have played the week after either.

Again, I think the NFL and its coaches/fans do not take concussions seriously enough and that needs to change.

Seconded. Brain injuries aren't something you should just push yourself through.

[RedskinsandRockBandFan]

I think he will play next week, I hope so. What he tweeted was very positive and this is the same day. he should be recovered and ready for next sunday, because surprisingly the Vikings are a very good team at 4-1, we need him out there gor us to get a win.

Damnit RG3, wear a better helmet: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ey...ion-prevention



That's pretty bad if he had a concussion severe enough that he had short term memory loss...

I hope for his own well being he sits out next week. This season isn't really going anywhere with how awful our defense is with bad players in the secondary and injuries along the front.

When I saw that hit it kind of reminded me of Lavar's hit. Hopefully he is a quick healer and learned from it. Throw it away.

I really wish we would try to run an end zone fade. We seem to have all the guys to do it, including Briscoe. Maybe it will help minimize the pressure to score we saw today when he got hit. He needs to get the ball to our wideouts to ease the load, but we never even try what may be one of the safest red zone pass plays for a QB.

[Skinz4Life12]

The thing about that hit is it could have happened to any other qb. It had nothing to do with Robert being a mobile qb. That was his first or second 'scramble' of the game and he made a bad decision staying in bounds and sliding late. It's ironic that despite all his designed qb runs it's a routine scramble that gets him a concussion. It reminded me of the hit on Trent green. Anyways, I hope we don't totally eliminate designed runs from our play calling because there were a couple of crucial third downs that could have been easily converted with Roberts legs today

We saw the hit live, right in front of us.

It was nasty, there was a huge hole in the ground from his head.

Uh...didn't his head whip backwards into the second guy?

But not too hard.

[JoeSkins]

Now that you mention it, AOL, I really hope we see RG3 in a Darth Vader helmet from here on.

[redskins55]

He need to learn how to slide...

That's the problem.. He went to slide and waited to late. He also slippe and couldn't avoid the hit.

Me, I care a lot more about him healing from the injury, than I care about whether he plays next week.

Me too, but if he is 100 percent and can play I want him out there
