Remember RG3 was 4 weeks into a "lvl 1 sprain" why so much concern? If he's a nervous wreck then he should not have cleared him for play, yet he did. Pass the butter please...

I am sure he, and any other doctor, holds their breath whenever a player comes back from a sprain. If doctors had their druthers the players would be out 8 weeks for a sprain to make 1000% sure the player was completely healed.
But that's not the reality of the NFL.
I definitely think he should have been pulled once he hurt himself at the end of the first quarter, that was clearly where he did damage to the knee. But entering that game he was 100% ready to play, as evidenced by that first quarter (two quick TDs) despite Andrews' nervous feelings.
