Robert Griffin IIIwent to the locker room during Sunday's game to take concussion tests. So how did the Redskins announce the injury?
They officially said he was "shaken up" and was questionable to return to the game. They never updated his status. That characterization could get the Redskins into hot water.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed to NFL.com and NFL Network that the league is looking into if the Redskins followed the league rules that require teams are accurate and timely in reporting Robert Griffin III's injury information.
We've got an issue with how Redskins coach Mike Shanahan characterized the injury after the game as well.
"When he really wasn't sure what quarter it was, what score it was, we knew he had a mild concussion, at least according to the doctors," Shanahan said. "(He) feels good right now, a lot better right now. But that was the situation why he didn't go back into the game."
It's time to kill the term "mild concussion." It's only mild if someone else suffers it. Apart from being medically inaccurate, the term downplays the severity of suffering a concussion. It is basically is an update of the terms outdated terms "bell rung" or "shaken up."
Sorry Redskins, but "shaken up" is not a medical condition.
Q. What did the carpet say to the floor?
