Robert Griffin III Injury: No Ligament Tear Thankfully, Knee Sprain With No Timetable For Return Yet

The worst case scenario when Robert Griffin III took the hit below has been avoided. The team has announced that a MRI revealed no ligament tears to his right knee, calling it a knee sprain. Robert Griffin III just tweeted out “Your positive vibes and prayers worked people!!!! To God be the Glory!”

He still may miss at least a game. We’ll find that out as the week progresses and he deals with the swelling from his leg doing that (points below). Very fortunate that he did not sustain either a broken fibula or serious knee ligament damage beyond a sprain with the way that leg whipped around after Ngata’s hit. Great news as well.

Wash/Cleveland off the board in Vegas, fwiw.

Quit with the GIFs for fuck’s sake. Between the GIFs and the pop ups, this place is becoming a pain in the ass to navigate.

The autoplay vids really stop me from coming here more often. But I’m sure that’s the bigwigs call and not TBL.

The Giants were about 2 minutes away from having a 2 game lead. How quickly things change. Redskins got a huge break today with the non fumble recovery.

I’ve never seen a pop up. don’t you have pop up blocker on?

as for autoplay ads, I will ask about them.

Jason,

FYI, I surf the site largely on my iPad, and the ads will pop up on every screen- the same as my iPhone. The animated gifs really do SLOOOOOW down post loading when I am on a fast wifi connection (and not 3G, 4G cellular). I have tried to reduce the ads through the settings on my devices but it doesn’t appear to help. No video autoplay issues for me on the iOs system.

Thank you for listening to feedback.

Autoplay ads only on the home page. Thanks again for looking into it. I have the same issue on my phone but chalk it up to not being a mobile site.

Yeah, iPad viewing is brutal. The banner ad on the bottom moves, jumps and is generally un-closeable.

All GIF’s suck on an iPad (even newer ones), the larger the worse the effect and TBL’s minions make large ones.

is this the case JUST on BLS, or any site with gifs? What happens on Buzzfeed? Deadspin? Other sites that use gifs?

I only experience the spinning color wheel with GIFs on this site. Doesn’t seem to affect things on Deadspin or thechive.com.

MRI negative, no ACL tear… thank you, xmas came early. I’m really starting to worry about RG3′s long term durability though.
