Orthopedic specialists estimate Griffin out eight weeks to full season
"[three orthopedic specialists guess that] ...Griffin will likely miss eight weeks under the rosiest scenario, and all season under the bleakest. ...
...Dr. Dan Pereles, USA Rugby’s team orthopedic surgeon and medical consultant to the PGA Tour, has treated athletes with ankle dislocations and said those that don’t include a fracture of at least some bone are rare.
....Dr. Mark Adickes, who did Griffin’s original anterior cruciate ligament repair, said he hadn’t seen any of the results but said that “chances are nearly 100 percent that there is also a fracture,” which will not be known until the MRI exam is done.
Adickes says if there is a fracture, that’s almost better because there will be less ligament damage and then the ankle must be re-set and the bone must heal. Even so, the doctor predicts a four-month recovery time at the minimum, and that precedes rehabilitation work to restore range of motion and explosiveness.
Adickes said “I think it’s very unlikely he plays again this season

Didn't see this posted but we'll find out tomorrow. Looks like it's likely Cousin's team for the year, although RG3 always tries to rush things back..
Of course, remember -- he's superhuman.
