coach gruden wouldn't really give us a timetable on rg3's return. the good news is the mri on ankle shows no fracture, so that means no surgery for griffin. gruden is optimistic his quarterback could return later in the season, but he also said putting griffin on the injured reserve list which could end his season isn't even a consideration. today the mood at redskins park one of sadness and frustration, much like at the game last night. it's an unsettling sight to see a young player leave the game with such a major injury yet again so early in his career, especially when it's in the midst of his comeback. >> he was coming along great. he should have had three for three and had two rushes for 20 yards. he's playing at a very high, great energy and it's an unfortunate circumstance. he'll recover. >> reporter: griffin said this injury doesn't speak to his qb abilities at all, but in the last five year it's hard not to question that. there was the acl tear in college in 2009. two year later he sprained his lcl in the right knee after taking the hit fro
