Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will not play against the Baltimore Ravens in a preseason game on Saturday as expected after a neurologist reversed course Friday regarding Griffin's recovery from a recent concussion.
Independent neurologist Robert N. Kurtze originally said Griffin was cleared to play on Thursday. Kurtze, though, released the following statement Friday regarding the situation:
"Per discussion with Neuropsychologists and with Anthony Casolaro M.D., we had anticipated yesterday that the patient would be cleared for full participation in gameplay this weekend; however, upon further scrutiny today of the neuropsychology data, I agree with the neuropsychologist that he should be held from gameplay this weekend and be retested in one-two weeks before a firm conclusion to return to gameplay can be made.
