if you are rg iii, you have to have a massive headache. according to adam shepler, the redskins had been hoping to end the rg iii era but have been getting resistance from ownership. here is jay gruden on the concussion confusion. youe are all as confused as are. i know people want to make it out that we are incompetent, but we are not. this had nothing to do with us. i've always been told i have the final say on who plays quarterback, and i know that hasn't changed. scott is part of our organization, as his dan snyder. we will all talk about it. we are going to put the best 53 on the field who we think is going to win against miami. no hidden agendas whatsoever. this is a washington redskins decision. we will make the right one. family.one big happy we spoke with former redskins legend joe theismann before the game, and he said kirk cousins should be the starter week one against miami, not because he's better than robert but because of health reasons. a slow start yesterday, but eventually he came along. colt mccoy took advantage of his m

after all, this afternoon, robert griffin iii went through the team's walk-through. but shortly after 7:00 tonight, the redskins released a statement from the nfl's independent neurologist. it noted the initial confidence that robert griffin iii would be able to play tomorrow. but then explained doctors further reviewed griffin's test data and decided he should not play against the ravens. and this was an important part. it was stress that griffin would need to be retested in one to two weeks before decisions could be made on his return to play. again, that's significant. coming up in sports, in fact, we have rg3's reaction to his latest setback. again, it's only two weeks before the start of the 2015 regular season. >> see you in a few minutes. dave johnson, thank you. >>> we're eight hours now into what d.c. police call all hands on deck. all available personnel on patrol until sunday morning. walking the streets, focusing on community policing. those same officers will do something else this weekend. they'll cast confidential votes, answering one question. do they
