Robert Griffin III injury: Redskins QB scheduled to have surgery
Robert Griffin III will undergo surgery this week to repair his torn LCL, and at that time, doctors will determine if RGIII suffered any damage to his ACL.

Griffin III originally suffered a Grade 1 LCL sprain during Washington's Week 14 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens. Griffin III subsequently missed Washington's contest against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, but returned to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.
Washington's star rookie quarterback re-injured his knee in the Redskins' Wild Card round loss to the Seattle Seahawks. RGIII was noticeably limping in the first quarter, and his knee finally gave out on a non-contact injury late in the fourth quarter, as the Redskins were trying to mount a comeback.
Mike Shanahan and Redskins fans alike will have to continue to hold their breath, and hope that RGIII avoided a major ACL injury -- in addition to his torn LCL.
