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)

Grade 1 sprain to LCL. I guess this is the best news we could've hoped for

[StJoe4Life]

grade 1 strain is the mildest of strains right? i'm betting he plays sunday

Yeah. When I had a grade 2, I was in rough shape for about a month and I needed PT. But I was also 16, a cheerleader and dealing with a massive growth spurt, not an elite athlete. I think he should be good to go.

Shanny's just screwing with the media, I think he feel's pretty good about Robert playing sunday, IMO..

Lol he totally is.

[Zazzaro703]

Grade 1 is day to day. Depends on how the swelling effects the mobility of the knee. After seeing his knee bend like that, by far the best news we could have heard. Robert will play no doubt in my mind unless the coaching staff sees something and doesn't let him.

[PortisBetts]

This is great news. Grade 1 sprain was the best news we could have hoped for. Hope he is good to go Sunday.

What incentive would Shanahan have for saying he is ruled out today?
Anything Shanahan says at this point is smoke and mirrors.

[RFK Lives]

Best news today. He has to be the best conditioned athlete to ever don the burgundy and gold.

so you think he's lying when he says first degree sprain?

Thank goodness. Let him rest and rehab the knee accordingly, and if he's good to go Sunday, let him play.

"First degree sprain" has no universal meaning in terms of time missed. It all depends on the individual. He could definitely use that this week to screw with the Browns.

but it usually indicates that the sprain is not severe like a grade 3, does it not?

speaking of individuals, if anyone is going to be ready to go next week it will be RG3

[Rypien1191]

EDIT: From the sounds of things on twitter, it seems from Shanny's presser that he would be surprised if RG3 DIDN'T play Sunday. He didn't say it.

[Prototype]

He won't be ruled out until noon Sunday. He'll be on crutches Sunday morning talking about "there's still a chance".

Okay there, negative Nancy....

[TheGreek1973]

grade 1 strain, not ruled out for sunday

man did we luck out with this one, the least severe sprain. AWESOME.
