According to one report I’ve seen, Griffin will probably be out for 9-12 months after surgery. That would mean he’d at least miss training camp and the pre-season, if not the entire 2013 regular season.
If there’s anything from which to take heart, it’s that Adrian Peterson missed only one game (the last game of 2011) after his similar injury, also on the Redskins’ field.
Of course, Adrian Peterson borders on the superhuman so I wonder if anyone can recover as quickly as he did.
