There are two stories here:
Do you suppose world-renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews told USA Today Sports that he did not clear Robert Griffin III "to return for four plays against the Ravens on Dec 9 when he sprained his knee" - Which will coincide with the release of his new book “On Any Given Monday” on Tuesday?
Why did Andrews wait three weeks to release the information?
Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins:
There are different views on whether Griffin III should have continued playing Sunday after reinjuring his knee in the first half. Standard protocol suggests team doctor's rule the sidelines. Coaches do not have the ability to override the judgment of doctor’s decision to let players back on the field.
In clear view of the camera, RGIII "went to a shed behind the Redskins bench, had his knee taped" by Dr. Andrews and was cleared to return to the field.
Andrews does not have to speak with the media since the law protects client medical information.
Just my opinion
