NomarFachix Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 @ESPNRadio980: Sources close to Skins camp say RG3 has torn ACL & PCL & will not play for a min of 14-18 months. Nothing concrete yet, but that would be devastating. Thankfully they drafted Cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make It Naaaashty Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow....that's terrible. Huge blow for the Skins and the NFL in general if this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 7, 2013 Owner Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow...I figured he tore the ACL, but to be out 14-18 months? Skins fans on Twitter were hoping it wouldn't be 8-12 months...yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Haven't seen it anywhere but this espn radio account and the Virginia news station, but people could just be waiting for concrete info and/or a second test. Real bummer for a franchise that was turned around in just one season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) The DC news site that reported it has since edited the diagnosis/timeframe out. Edited January 7, 2013 by Phightins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I know this sounds awful - I don't mean it that way - because I personally love watching RGIII play and thing he's a damn good player and wish nothing but the best for him even as a Giants fan (seriously). But, Skins fans, and the organization in general, better get used to this ... the way he plays, I'd be shocked if he EVER played a full 16 game season. He's similar to Mike Vick. With how violent the game is, how thin he is, I truly believe it'll become the norm for him to miss several games a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownborn Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Damn that sucks for the Skins, I had high expectations for them and RG3 next season too. Hopefully Cousins learned all he can this season so he can help them out next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I heard partial tear in both, he probably won't play next season but shouldn't be anything beyond that.. Dr. Fish diagnosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 He will come back like Adrian Peterson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 He shouldn't have been playing last week. Really stupid to risk serious injury for a playoff game in his rookie season IMO. I'm sure he's going to have plenty more where that came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
