[quote=12thMan;986686]JLC's reporting seems to be a bit more dire. Talking possibly missing the entire offseason.[/quote]

Offseason? You mean the entire season

for what ? ACL? Or Both? and has this been confirmed?

Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...
 

Here is the video of Adam Schefter talking about the LCL surgery . . .

sounds to me like they don't see a new tear in the ACL but are uncertain if the graft from the first reconstruction surgery he had in college is still ok or if it is failing and needs to be rebuilt . . . hopefully we'll find out soon enough . . . one good thing is there must not be a ton of swelling or they would have to hold off further on the surgery and they are doing it this week . . .

turns out it was just a splinter, they took it out, he's fine

Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...
 

Recovery time is different for everyone, some recover quicker than others.
A good way to judge recovery would be to see how long it took him the first time he injured himself. Maybe the second time takes a little longer? Who knows, who cares about the time line, i just want him to be healthy in the long run like when he joined the team.

[B]Chris Mortensen ‏@mortreport

Surgery for @RGIII on LCL scheduled this week and Dr. Andrews will determine how much damage on ACL at that time, per @AdamSchefter #ESPN [/B]


removed this. Not even worth it.

So glad the WP doctors are all over this.

I'll get PT on it right away. I think I can have him back before training camp!

I slept at a Holiday Inn Express. I'm qualified.


Also, your comment will apply to anybody posting on this injury.

John Keim ‏@john_keim
Just talked to an ortho surgeon; he said LCL tears never happen in isolation. "Highly unusual." #Redskins #RG3

So he expects Dr. Andrews to find another tear when they do surgery on #RG3... An opinion based on experience.


RG3 will work his ass off, he will be ok I got faith in that. He will be back and motivated. Hail

Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...
 

If RG3 can come back by October, that would be amazing.

Well, some more than others.

Still a lot of assumptions being made.

Will you be there in person to assist with Dr. Andrews or perhaps by video conference? ;)
