Griffin Undergoes Total Reconstructive Surgery

Oct 31, 2014 7:09 AM

Robert Griffin III is undergoing total reconstructive surgery of his right knee early Wednesday morning to repair torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments.

Griffin, however, is expected to be ready for the 2013 regular season opener.

The torn ACL was diagnosed late Tuesday as a complete tear of the patella graft that was used to repair Griffin's torn ACL suffered at Baylor in 2009. 

Griffin's recovery is projected at six to eight months, barring any setbacks, sources said.

Griffin Has Partial Tear Of ACL, LCL

Oct 4, 2014 8:17 AM

Robert Griffin III is believed to have a partial tear of his ACL and LCL in his right knee.

Griffin underwent an MRI on Monday.

Griffin suffered a torn ACL in the same knee in 2009 while he was in college at Baylor, and has been playing in recent weeks with a mild sprain of the LCL.

Griffin might have to undergo exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the damage and whether the injuries are new, according to a source.
