You’re a Robert Griffin III owner in a keeper or a dynasty league, and you’ve already consumed several inanimate objects as you worry about his knee. That’s a pretty unhealthy nervous reaction. You should get that looked at.

Anyone who’s associated with the Redskins has said he’s going to be fine, and they wouldn’t lie, right? RIGHT? Of course not, simmer, bro. Everything will be fine, as I’m sure after Griffin tore his ACL for the second time in three years in addition to his LCL and suffering meniscus damage, there won’t be a single hiccup in his recovery, and there’s no reason whatsoever to downgrade his value now, or later this year as we head into the summer and training camp looms.

And if you honestly think that, I can only assume you also believe in, I dunno, cloud telekinesis.

I know, and I’m sorry. You’ve spent most of this week hearing about every muscle twitch in Robert Griffin III’s knee (or, er, the lack of muscle twitching, and muscle in general), and how it will surely implode at any moment. Right now you’d like to focus on another weekend of playoff football that starts so very, very shortly. We’ll be doing plenty of that, and soon this space will be invaded with all of the moving pictures and LOL’s you could possibly desire. It’ll be great fun. Promise.

But we have to press pause on our playoff priming and investigative weather reporting briefly to relay some more grave concerns about RG3′s knee, this time by way of ProFootballTalk.

I know you’re scared right now, and the world is a cold and lonely place. We’re only a few weeks removed from the conclusion of the 2012 fantasy football season, a season in which Robert Griffin III provided you with great draft value, finishing among the top overall scorers. And now, he could already be set to miss a chunk of the 2013 regular season.

UPDATE (1:30 a.m.): Holy $%&!. I mean, I guess we expected this, but holy @#&#@!%$!. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is now reporting that Robert Griffin III will undergo a total reconstruction of his knee after a complete tear of his ACL and LCL, and the projected recovery is six-to-eight months. The low end of that has him ready for training camp, and recovered by early July. And on the high end, the first Sunday of the 2013 season (Sept. 8) is almost exactly eight months away. We now return you to the original post, and Bryan Adams…

Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right

No, Bryan Adams. It feels wrong, dead wrong.

Knives and mobile quarterbacks who have already had a knee cut up in the relatively recent past don’t play well together. And sometime in the next few days, Robert Griffin III’s knee will be the subject of precise cuts by Dr. James Andrews.

That appointment has been booked, according to the Washington Post, and later this week Griffin will have surgery to repair a torn LCL in his right knee. And Andrews figures that, what the hell, he may as well also check out the ACL while he’s in there, and determine how much damage has been done to that ligament too.

Just potentially significant damage to two knee ligaments for a quarterback who’s already torn his right ACL, and injured the LCL earlier this year. No worries, guys.
