Concussed RGIII won't play tonight against Ravens

REDSKINS quarterback Robert Griffin III will miss today's exhibition game at Baltimore because of a concussion, reversing an earlier decision to let him play.

In a statement released yesterday by the Redskins, NFL independent neurologist Robert Kurtzke is quoted that Griffin "should be held from game play this weekend and be retested in one [to] two weeks before a firm conclusion to return to game play can be made."

Griffin left last week's exhibition game against Detroit with what Redskins coach Jay Gruden said afterward was a concussion. The Redskins announced Thursday that Griffin had been cleared to play this weekend.
