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)

Wow, the way some of you guys are talking you would think Cleveland is going to win the super bowl. It's the freaking Cleveland Browns from Cleveland. Jeez, they still suck donkey scrotes. And Kirk Cousins is not a rookie Rex Grossman. We'll be fine without RG3 this week. Let him heal up. If there's one thing that yesterday showed us it that is is not the Redskins of years past.

Plus we just beat Cleveland in DC this week, so we can probably use the same game plan.

The Cleveland Browns are like the Carolina Panthers of the AFC. They are not as bad as their record indicates. The opponent you sleep on is usually the opponent you lose to. Hopefully the players don't sleep on Cleveland like you do. I hope RG3 plays because I don't really know if we will win without him.

Grade 1 LCL Sprain. Does anyone know of other players that have had this same injury? If so, how long did it take for them to recover?

[skinsfansince1988]

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

I agree, he seemed giddy IMO. Is it me or it it weird the national media's obsession with the Redskins, I am not used to it and half of them have no idea about this team, especially Jaws on ESPN

old man Freddy Jackson had a grade 2 LCL sprain and missed two weeks. RG3 is a decade younger, in the playoff hunt, and has a less severe sprain so take that fwiw

[Fight4RGIII]

I took my glasses off at one point during the game, usually wear contacts, and I couldn't tell if RG3 or Cousins was in the game...on a big TV. My eyes have gotten so bad seeing things at a distance. What this has to do with RG3's knee? Idk.

[Drunken Master III]

Its very rare to sprain your LCL. Its the ligament along the outside of the knee. My best guess is that he will be able to play on Sunday. By the way... I am having ACL surgery on Wednesday. Great to hear its not the case for RG.

Good luck with your surgery, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad Robert's not gonna be joining you....

BTW like your sig..

Fred Jackson suffered a Grade 2 LCL Sprain and missed 2 weeks. RG III's injury is less severe with a Grade 1 LCL Sprain. I believe his chances of playing are a lot higher but they may still not play him for precautionary reasons. He would definitely be ready to go by the Philly game

This. And taking into account that RG3 is 22 years old and Fred Jackson is 31 or so. Much younger, lesser injury, less intensive position, heart of a lion....he's playing folks.

[Skinz4Life12]

can anyone confirm that Shanny actually said he'd be surprised if Robert didn't play this week?

Remember when Favre stayed down in game v. Redskins in '02. Complete silence in Lambeau, could hear a pin drop. LCL, played next game.

All I have seen is that he said there's a chance he will play: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post...od-news-on-rg3

[Year_of_The_Monk]

I have all the faith in the world in Kirk Cousins, Honestly I do BUT..................
If you take a look at the Cleveland team, they have a decent pass rush; I seen way to many highlights this year of them making plays albeit lose the game but plays none the less. With out line, we can not afford Kirk to stay in the pocket in this game.. think Bengals game with RG3...So with that said, we need RG3 to be a duel threat. If we put this game away early then by all means, take RG3 out and put in Kirk to finish. RG3 need lots of Hyperbaric chamber time.

[Forehead]

Have they let RG3 out of the hyperbaric chamber yet? If they have, find him and shove him back in. Feed him through a slot, but don't let him out till Sunday.

[gortiz]

quick thread hi jack, is a 70% healthy right leg Robert better than a 100% all body parts healthy Kirk.
