Redskins QB Robert Griffin III Scheduled To Have Surgery To Repair LCL Damage

Found January 08, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will undergo surgery on his right knee in coming days. Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports Griffin will have surgery to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in the knee. At that time, the extent of damage done to the ACL in the same knee will be assessed, according to the report. Griffin traveled to Florida to be examined by Dr. James Andrews today after MRI’s on the injury were not completely revealing. It sounds like there is a chance Griffin will ultimately require ACL reconstruction but no one is making that leap at this point. Source: National Football Post
