According to John Keim of the Washington Examiner, Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon will not need to undergo foot surgery. The good news is that he’s expected to be 100 percent healthy for next season.
If the foot had been that bad, Garcon likely would have needed surgery during the season or shortly after it ended. But the Redskins and Garcon wanted to see how his foot and toe progressed in the offseason to see if surgery would be needed. Coach Mike Shanahan had said Garcon likely would see specialists in the offseason to determine the course of action. Garcon hasn’t been running on it, so the foot has finally had an extended period of rest to let it heal. The source said Garcon should be “100 percent” by next year.
Garcon had a pretty good season in 2012 despite the fact that he missed a bunch of games while trying to rest his foot. I expect him to have a phenomenal season in 2013 now that he’s healthy.

Adidas’ latest commercial has the Redskins’ Robert Griffin III saying “blow it all up…because all that matters is what you do next.” I love the sentiment of this commercial. Essentially he is saying it doesn’t matter what you have done in the past, what matters is what you do in the future. It doesn’t matter that Griffin took the league by storm, won rookie of the year...

The aim in the commercial is for RGIII to put behind the wins/loses and headlines of last year and return stronger next year, hence the title “All in for Week 1.” It’s yet to be determined, but I would guess...
