Best case for Griffin is probably 6-8 weeks. If he makes it back this year you evaluate where the team is heading at that point and make a decision. It's way too early to have any real idea of what might happen.
Let's see how the MRI goes.
I wouldn't hold your breath for his return this season. Hope I'm wrong. But doesn't sound good from people I've heard from (one of whom should absolutely know)

Cousins
Paul
Kerrigan
Hatcher
Morris
Grant
Roberts
Redd (he should be Morris's backup instead of Helu)
Riley
Orakpo
Way
The crazy thing is that right now the Redskins are the #1 rated defense in the NFL, amazing isn't it??
Crazy. I think Hatcher has been the big difference maker so far. Having that inside push just makes the whole thing go.

Yeah won't surprise me. I'm pretty much planning on the worst.

Hatcher was an absolute beast today. Responsible for so much good on that D. Great pickup.

That would be a dilemma since it will be a contract year for both RGIII and Cousins? Or is it the following year? If Cousins plays the rest of the season like he did today, RGIII will be no longer a skin in the future.

Regardless if you think Griffin was the answer or not. He gave it a 1000%. You got feel bad for him. He looked like he was going tear up when they were carting him back.
Griffin still has one more year. Team will have decision to make on picking up 5th yr option.

How about Niles Paul? Jordan Reed may not get his job back. Don't want to get ahead here but this is the sign of a good team. Starting QB, TE and WR is out? No big deal. Drop 41 and 400 plus yards of offense. And they may not be able to keep this Redd kid on the bench either.
My two cents: the last time RGIII was healthy, he was an elite QB and one of the best we've ever had. Then there was last year, when he was no where near healthy, the head coach and O-Coordinator seemed as concerned with undermining RG as they were with winning. And the defense couldn't stop a pop warner team. I'm confused that there are so many people willing to discard him in the hopes that the backup is the next Montana. There's one thing every annoying fan of every team believes: the backup QB has Hall of Fame talent. So that said, as far as the positives and negatives of this week, I only have one thing:
Negative: RGIII getting injured.
