According to the Redskins, quarterback Robert Griffin III suffered a concussion against the Lions last night during a performance that saw him get tossed around like a rag doll behind an offensive line that was overwhelmed time and again by Detroit’s defensive front.
With Griffin diagnosed with a concussion, he’ll need to go through the league’s concussion protocol before he’s cleared to take part in practice or play in a game. That process takes a while, but it seems someone is pretty confident that Griffin’s time out of the lineup will be short.
Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports that a source tells him the concussion is not believed to be severe, which is a pretty big judgment to make when the process of moving through the tests required by the protocol has barely started.
