Commanders' management's approach to Jayden Daniels' injury receives praise from Robert Griffin III: "Well done, bravo!"
Robert Griffin III Commends Washington Commanders for Sidelining Jayden Daniels
Robert Griffin III, the former quarterback who was selected second overall by the Washington Commanders in 2012, has expressed his approval of the team's decision to protect current signal caller Jayden Daniels' long-term future.
In a post on social media, Griffin praised the Commanders for prioritizing Daniels' health over playing him in Week 3 against the Raiders, as Daniels is out due to a knee sprain. This decision comes after Griffin's own career was negatively impacted by knee injuries.
Griffin, who had reconstructive surgery shortly after the 2012 playoffs due to a knee injury, believes that his career decline was influenced by an injury. During his career, he played through a knee injury during the playoffs, which led to a torn ACL, LCL, and meniscus in his right knee.
The similarities between Griffin and Daniels' careers extend beyond their injuries and the subsequent decisions made by the Washington Commanders regarding their playing status. Both were selected No. 2 overall by the team and won Rookie of the Year honors. In their careers, they both made significant contributions to the Commanders, with Griffin helping the team earn its first division title in over a decade in 2012 and Daniels leading the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game, ending a four-year playoff drought for the franchise.
Head coach Dan Quinn was involved in the decision to sit Daniels in Week 3. The Commanders are not putting Daniels at risk of potentially worsening his knee injury in Week 3, as they prioritize the long-term health of their quarterback.
Griffin, now 35 years old, has personal experience with the importance of not pushing through an injury. He believes that there were factors contributing to the injury that led to his career decline.
The Commanders' decision not to play Daniels with a knee injury is being widely praised by fans and experts alike. Griffin's post on social media has received positive responses, with many expressing their agreement with his sentiment.
As Griffin and Daniels both know, the effects of injuries can be long-lasting and far-reaching. The Commanders' decision to prioritize Daniels' health over playing him in Week 3 is a testament to the team's commitment to their players and their future success.
