Quick RG3 update (next person to speculate on how much time he will miss without any kind of real knowledge will miss time of his own) (merged)

More like a punch after the bell.

Not really. Hitting a guy hard is what a good defense does.

Gonna be a long night. Who does the MRI? GW?

RG III tweeted?

The Insider dude LL/Lavarleap56 (the guy that posts all the play breakdown threads) tweeted it

Pretty sure they knew he was done during the game. Completely different. RG3's foot wasnt planted. It could be just a bad bruise...

Brandon stated after the game that he was fine, and the reason he didn't return was for precautionary purposes...we later found out after he recieved an MRI, that he was done. flash forward to today and we have a very similar situation where a player(rg3) states he's fine before he's had an MRI. I'm just hoping it doesn't turn out like it did for Merriweather..

No such thing as a dumb question

Just means it isn't a tear or anything real serious.

thanks. Just wanted to make sure if we get good news with the MRI, that I can relax

I saw that. He put it up there then deletes it and says that he meant to text it. Someone asked if it was still right and he responded that it was a mistweet. Never really denied it but I don't know how much you can read into it.

How close is he to the team? He's been wrong before. This is like life and death to me right now. I can't focus on anything else. It's like one of my family members is deathly ill

I'm pretty sure he's been more right than wrong.

I think he was the one that said Banks had like 2 weeks to prove himself before getting benched and he was right

[Skinz4Life12]

if MRI is negative is it possible for him to play next week depending on swelling/bruising?

Wow.

Albert Breer tweeted this: "Was told best case, RG3 misses some practice time this week, plays Sunday. Worst case? Not sure."

LL‏@HTTR24_7

All I know right now is #Redskins are encouraged and don't expect any surprises. MRI will tell all.

It looked hyperextended, so ligaments can get stretched, which may result in a sprain. ice it and ice it some more.

[Laron Burgundy]

The big question is did he hear a pop. If he heard a pop it's an ACL tear and season over. A reporter should have asked him that.

I strained my acl, pcl, and mcl, no tears, and I heard a pop still. Of course even a strain is a huge setback, I couldn't imagine trying to run on it in just a week.

Then again, Rivers played with a torn ACL I believe, and Merriman had one for years. ACL strongly affects joint stability but it's possible to play without one, of course it's dumb and further injury could be the result, but it's possible.
