It is not confirmed but Rober Griffin the III may have torn his ACL and LCL. That would require 9 to 12 months of rehab. I know Peterson did it in 8 and had a remarkable season but not everyone is Adrian Peterson.
Don't get me wrong, I do not wish injury on anyone and I would hate to see someone so young in his NFL career suffer such a setback.
However, I considered it relavent news considering they are in our division and swept us this year, including a trip to the playoffs. |

Just speculation at this point, but if I were Dan Snyder I would be pissed to the ends of the earth.

| If so its a damn shame. I despise the redskins as much as any cowboy fan but think RGIII is a class act and a great credit to the game. I would hate the see his career ended due to the ignorance or arrogance of the Redskins... |

| I like RGIII as a person & if this is true it's a shame. However, I believe it's a good lesson for teams to learn. Giving up as much as the skins did to get him is a huge risk. If something like this has to happen I'm glad that its the skins that get it. |

Supposedly it's a "partially" torn ACL. I would think he'll be fine- maybe ineffective as a runner to start the year, but I'll never doubt what a talented, dedicated athlete can do off an ACL tear after what Peterson did this year.

That was post-surgery, though. And I believe RGIII has already had this knee surgically repaired. I'm pretty sure it's the same knee he blew out in college, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Am I the only one who thinks Peterson's season and recovery was PEDs enhanced? |

Med science, the legal kind, has advanced far enough that I believe it's more than possible to come back from knee injuries at 100%.
Is it possible, sure, but in AP's case it's hard to judge, simply because he is head and shoulders above everyone else.

I believe the article i read earlier said it was the same knee. That is why they are getting a second opinion, because on the MRI it is possible to see the old tear from college and it is hard to be certain if it is a new tear or not. |

I'd figure that a doctor should be able to recognize the difference between the old injury and the new one for various reasons, shouldn't he? All the doctor has to do is compare the new MRI results to the old one, look for differences, and, theoretically, there's your new injury. Plus, the new injury may not be located in the same place as the old one. An ACL is a big ligament, so there's plenty of chance for it to tear in an entirely different place than the first time. All I know is that I'd be very concerned with RGIII's health now that he seems to be developing a history of knee issues.

RGIII has a torn LCL and partially torn ACL. I got him beat! My LCL, ACL and Meniscus are completely torn.
HT - 1
RGIII - 0
At least 1 Cowboy fan can claim a victory over RGIII.

When you tear your ACL the Surgeon uses a tendon from your hamsting to replace the ACL, and it is about 80% as strong as the original ACL.
ACL is not a very large ligament, and has limited blood supply which slow down the healing process.
LCL injury will affect his cutting abilty, but it is relatively minor compared to ACL/PCL tears. About half the recovery time compared to ACL tear.
I actually got to observe an ACL repair a few years ago, and had a chance to ask the Surgeon many questions about the injury.
I think the injury will turn him more into a pocket passer which may be good for him in the long run, but he will lose all his elusiveness running the ball.

Ouch!! How did you do that HT?
You have a ton of therapy in your future, and hate to break it to you Ht but your NFL career may be over.
At least you have beer to help you with the pain.
