NFL: RG3 reportedly will be with Redskins owner at exam (MET)

[SKINS'n'Spurs]

I think this is just a show of support. People are making too many assumptions about his injury status. We just have to be patient and perhaps send some positive messages RGIII's way; I know he appreciates it (has already tweeted as such)

[SonnyandSam]

Probably exploratory for now.

According to an ES poster who just texted RG2 about the issue, he's getting the knee scoped.

Yep. My son, who is an athletic trainer and does medical research on world class athletes, told me this afternoon that he bets Andrews will scope the knee joint to see first hand what the damage is. Better to stick a small camera in his knee to see the actual damage than an MRI picture, especially if the swelling or previous surgery makes it difficult to read...which my son says is quite common.

This whole thing has got me sick to my stomach...seriously...i do not want the last successful memory of rg3 to be of him lighting up the Seajocks at a dizzying pace and than our dreams dashed again!

We can't catch a break I swear. A buddy of mine and fellow new yorker and skins fan said it's like the football gods said f em they aight ready yet.

All my prayers are with you sir for the best possible outcome!

hail!

Not good at all. And, to a lesser point, I thought the player-to-owner stuff was done since Shanahan is now in charge.

I'm fine with Dan having a relationship with the players. The caveat is simply that it can not supercede the head coach's relationship with said players if we're going to be a successful organization.

It's actually a good thing for players to have some measure of respect and appreciation for team owners, honestly. Breeds loyalty.

Where did you see that?

Im fine with Dan accompanying RGIII.. They've developed a friendship beyond boss/employer and he cares about the kid, obviously.. On the down side, him going does shed a light on the (potential) severity of the situation.. At this point, I'll be thrilled if it's "just" the ACL/LCL.. At least there's a great chance he'll come back 100% from that, eventually.. If they start mentioning the PCL, I may honestly become sick to the point of vomiting..

Where did you see that?

In the "How's RGIII" thread.. (late pages) Someone said an "ES Insider" conversed via text w/ Robert?

[NoCalMike]

I would not at all be surprised if Dan is flying down to support RGIII.............

but also to question Andrews about just exactly was the situation on the sidelines during the Baltimore game, in which Shanahan claims the Doctor OK'd RGIII to go back in, but Andrews is saying he didn't, and also the situation in the Seahawks game as far as if Andrews was okaying RGIII to continue to play.

[maxiep]

Pretty sure it's just a show of support by Dan. It's not like he is meddling negatively.

This. And I write in agreement even though I freaking hate The Danny.

[kleese]

It's not good.

Based on facts that you've obtained or speculation?

Not breaking your balls here, honest question.

And for me, at this point any news that ends with "he should be ready for 2013 season" is "good" news

[A Skinhead in Saints Land]

Lets say the report is right and its a partial torn acl/lcl. What's the estimated recovery time?

Agreed...I think we are all willing to concede that something is hurt. He's not going to have a clean MRI. But if the rumor that he only partially tore his ACL and LCL is true, that would be GOOD news to me. Even if he misses September, I'd be excited and optimistic.

[Bacon]

Partially torn is great news because it opens up the possibility that he may not need surgery. If that is the case, we'll see him a lot earlier than September.

So many pessimists in here, it's sickening. RGIII will be fine, and it doesn't matter how long it takes for him to come back the fact is he WILL be back and if you're a fan of this team that's all that matters.

That's where I'm at.

I hated your contributions as a Redskin but this is a good post!
