RG3 Likely Headed To PUP List

Written by tomblaz on . Posted in Washington Redskins


 

Will Robert Griffin III begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list? It appears likely, according to ESPN's Adam Scheffler. Placing RGIII on the PUP list would allow him more time to heal and open up an additional spot for an extra quarterback on the Washington roster. Griffin is recovering from a torn ACL and LCL and the team won't know when he might return until some time this Summer.

Skins fans aren't alone in wondering when the Rookie of the Year will return. The NFL wants to know as it will impact when, and how often, the league schedules the Redskins for nationally televised games. The 2013 regular season schedule will be released in April.

From what I heard, he also got a stem cell injection during his surgery, which should help speed up his recovery, but I still wouldn't risk it. If he's not COMPLETELY 100% come training camp, put him the PUP list. I'd be fine with him returning in Week 4 or mid season. Kirk's shown enough that he can keep us in the .500 range until RG3 gets back.

It is way too soon to know that. And screw the NFL and needing to know for scheduling. I pay good money to watch every Redskin game . Tell them he will be starting Game 1. And if hes not ready then tough shit.
