NFL Update: Griffin III has partial tears to ACL and LCL



Reports out of Washington on Monday have stated that the MRI done on Robert Griffin III's right knee following the Redskin's Wildcard loss to Seattle on Sunday has shown partial tears in the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments. Mike Shanahan, Redskins head coach said at a news conference on Monday that Griffin will be sent to highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon James Andrews for a further examinations following the MRI scan. 

Griffin, already nursing a sprain, further injured the knee stretching to recover a muffed snap in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks. The results of the MRI will ask yet more questions about the decision to keep him in the game, as if the results are as serious as first reported, Griffin could miss the start of the 2013 season.
