RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

[firstdown]

From the Doc.

"Robert Griffin III had successful knee surgery early this morning. He had a direct repair of his LCL and a re-do of his previous ACL reconstruction. We expect a full recovery and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season.

"The goal of his treatment is to give him the best opportunity for a long professional career."

Notice how he doesn't say "The start of the 2013 season" he just says "the 2013 season"

I'm referring to the start of the regular season which is what reports have been saying. Redskins worded this very brief and carefully as you can tell.

Your right and further, reading it carefully, it doesn't say that the doctor himself believes he will be ready for 2013.
