RG3 cleared to play Sunday

Posted on 12:11 by Unknown
Robert Griffin III has been cleared to play and is practicing with his Washington Redskins teammates after suffering a mild concussion.

Griffin went through the NFL's concussion protocol after being knocked out of Sunday's game against Atlanta and was cleared to return to Wednesday's practice. The second overall pick in Aprils' draft is set to start Sunday against Minnesota.

The rookie quarterback left the game against Atlanta with a mild concussion after being hit by the Falcons' Sean Weatherspoon while scrambling on third-and-goal in the third quarter.

The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner is the NFC's third-leading passer and the NFL's top leading quarterback rusher.

Interesting as the Viqueens will no doubt be coming after RG3 trying to knock him out of the game.  I can only assume the Shannys will not run any option plays this week (as they didn't the last couple of weeks).  RG3 is going to have to be smarter with the football and slide, run/throw out of bounds when he sees the play break down.  I understand that he is a tough guy and wants to fight for the extra yard but that extra yard won't mean much if he is shelved on the sidelines for multiple weeks.
