How is RGIII?

[STBonecrusher21]

I think people still think its 1987 when it comes to these knee injuries.

Im calling it right now. He wont miss a game next year.

Here is a little Q&A by Graziano about the situation. Gives some nice detail about the difference in procedure since he has already torn the ACL(if it is indeed torn) From the sounds of this, if he ever tears it again it would be serious trouble.

Guys... we're in for a long ride. We haven't even taken into account how his body will heal from the surgery, his rehab, whether if he has setbacks...etc. His recovery time will flex throughout his entire rehab process, and we'll never get finite date for return.

So I suggest everyone take a deep breath, take the time to enjoy your life over these next few months and not be stressed or worried. He's not dead.

I hope that RG3 can play 5 to 6 seasons in the NFL. He's already done major damage to the knee twice. He's a once in a lifetime talent and we paid handsomely for him.

HogsHaven is now reporting the same of which David Elfin did and that was nk structural damage to the ACL...

I think what this poster is trying to say is that Griffin will be back in mid-August.

I'm tired of all these other "athletic doctors'" opinions on how long RG3 will be out with his year. I'll just wait on what Dr. Andrews has to say on the matter, you know, the actual SURGEON who SPECIALIZES in KNEES and operated on other HIGH PROFILE athletes?

What he says is what timeframe I'll follow.

Agreed.

For the record, my father also agrees with you...and he's an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knees

I'm still nervous.

According to a lot of doctors, it isn't likely to JUST tear the LCL in most cases

I'm over here stalking this man's sister's tweets...jesus what is wrong with me?

Lol, did you just post that on twitter?

If he only plays 5-6 seasons then the price the Skins paid was too high.

Hope we get much more than that.

But, you're point about already damaging his knee twice does cause concern.

Lol, did you just post that on twitter?

It wasn't me :P

Excellent advice Prototype.

Everyone needs to relax. This will be a long, long process that will involve a lot of information and speculation over the next several months. It is impossible that we will know everything right now. All we can do is hope for the best and follow along. There are no "answers" right now. We won't "know" anything until time passes and the man has healed up.

All we know as far as injury is "it's bad".
All we know as far as how long it takes to heal is "we'll see".

Don't beat yourself up trying to find the answers to questions that can't be asked.

Could be a grade 1 tear.

Could be a grade ∞ tear.

Hopefully after further review the ruling on the ACL damage will be overturned.

yeah I did lol
