According to ESPN medical expert and host of Athlete 360, Dr. Mark Adickes, Robert Griffin III will not require surgery on the ankle that he fractured this past weekend against Jacksonville. Adickes reports that Griffin will miss four to six weeks, after spending 10 days in a cast and undergoing rehab. The only risk at this point appears to be the extent of cartilage damage to that ankle. Would you rather have RGIII back or roll with Kirk Cousins, ‘Skins fans?

RGIII will not have surgery on ankle. Cast 10 days then rehab. Coach Gruden gave 4-6 wk timetable. Risk of early return? Cartilage damage.
