The Washington Redskins have been anxious about Robert Griffin III, but not panicked. As a result of, even when Griffin had a setback, they all the time had Kirk Cousins to show to.
Well, that safety blanket might be gone, at the least for a bit.
Cousins was operating exterior of the pocket when Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons tackled Cousins and landed on his foot. The Redskins’ backup quarterback tried strolling back to the huddle, however was in ache and went down. He was taken out of the game. ESPN reported in the course of the broadcast after talking to Redskins coach Mike Shanahan that X-rays on Cousins’ foot had been unfavorable, and he has a mid-foot sprain.
The severity of Cousins’ sprain isn’t identified yet, and regardless that it’d change into ver minor it should certainly be a scenario worth watching, as a result of regardless that all the pieces appears to be like good for Griffin returning by Week 1, he isn’t within the clear yet.
The almost certainly situation is that Griffin performs Week 1. All indicators have pointed to that. He ran a useless dash after doing a little soccer-associated work before Washington’s recreation towards Pittsburgh, and appeared fast. Although there was a report from Philadelphia-based mostly TELEVISION and radio personality Howard Eskin that Dr. James Andrews had really useful Griffin not play until after the Week 5 bye, that was quickly refuted and ESPN said that Andrews and the group would not make any choices about Griffin until after the last preseason sport.
All that says is Griffin most likely should play Week 1, but it surely’s not a lock quite yet. That’s why there must be some concern about Cousins’ foot.
If Griffin isn’t prepared by the opener and Cousins is out too, the Redskins’ next possibility is Rex Grossman. That is not going to make anyone in Washington sleep better.
So now instead of worrying about one quarterback’s health and when he can return, Redskins followers need to worry about two of them.
