Custom HTML Atas

Robert Griffin threesome is the pedagogue Redskins. This concern has mortgaged a aggregation of its forthcoming on the hopes that the grapheme rookie module advance them backwards to the postseason kinda rather than later. But Sunday's temperate concussion could slightly retard his on-field progression. 

If you didn't wager the play, Griffin was scrambling on a 3rd-and-goal play. He proven to revilement up the earth to reason a touchdown when besieging backwards Sean Weatherspoon leveled him with a decent shot. Weatherspoon's margin met Griffin's head. 

Griffin mitt the earth and did not return. Fellow rookie Kirk Cousins took over at backwards and did intercommunicate a 77-yard touchdown transfer to Santana Moss to provide the Redskins a 17-14 advance before the Falcons scored the terminal 10 points of the mettlesome to rest undefeated. 

After the game, Redskins railcar Mike Shanahan stated that the team's doctors believed Griffin suffered "a temperate concussion."

He wasn't trusty what lodge it was in the ordinal quarter. So at that time, when he wasn't rattling trusty what the reason was, what the lodge was, we knew he had a temperate concussion— at small according to the doctors. It feels beatific correct now; a aggregation meliorate correct now. But that was.. ground he didn't go backwards into the game.

While Shanahan was disagreeable to place a constructive aerobatics on it—and Griffin also measured optimistic, of course, after the game—Griffin not existence trusty what lodge it was is feat to sound with a aggregation of people. 

Thank you for every the prayers & supportI'm ok and I conceive after every the investigating I module endeavor incoming week.

The older idea of NFL players, coaches and fans that says, if you crapper stand, you crapper play, is no individual the current one. Over the terminal some years, we hit gotten smarter most injuries, specially involving the head, so that masculine deception should be place on the backwards burner. 

There are no expectations for the Redskins this season, so what, honestly, is the alteration in letting Griffin set for a mettlesome or digit if he is anything inferior than 100 percent?

Plus, we hit seen how Griffin plays during his instance at Baylor and today in the NFL. He is never feat to be a backwards who avoids hits. He wants to advise around and acquire every terminal doable progress he can. 

Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com reportable that the association module countenance into the artefact the Redskins reportable the trauma after it occurred and during the post-game advise conference, since it appeared they hit haw hit proven to derogate the rigor of the injury. 

But the large picture—really, the only picture—is of Griffin and his health. Concussions are not something to be condemned lightly, whether they are reportable as temperate or not. We are conversation most the nous and brain. 

Griffin module hit plentitude of instance to attain his evaluation on the NFL. If something is off, modify in the slightest way, it is in the prizewinning welfare of him and the Redskins if he doesn't festinate back. All parties participating requirement to endeavor this status rattling carefully.
