Comment on NFL notebook: Concussion sidelines Washington quarterback

ASHBURN, Va. — Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III will miss Saturday’s exhibition game at Baltimore because of a concussion, reversing an earlier decision to let him play. In a statement released Friday by the team, NFL independent neurologist Robert Kurtzke is quoted that Griffin “should be held from game play this weekend and be retested in one (to) two weeks before a firm conclusion to return to game play can be made.” Griffin left last week’s exhibition game against Detroit with what Coach Jay Gruden said afterward was a concussion.
