NFLPA Considering Investigation into RG3 Injury, and More NFC East News

The NFLPA is already upset with the Washington Redskins for the condition of their home field for last Sunday's Wild Card Game with the Seattle Seahawks. However, it now appears the players association could have another bone to pick with the 'Skins stemming from that same game.

Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports that the NFLPA is considering whether to pursue a formal investigation into the way in which Robert Griffin III's knee injury was handled during the loss to Seattle.

"Our medical director, Dr. Thom Mayer, has been in contact with the Redskins and has asked for a report on Robert Griffin III's medical diagnosis and treatment," George Atallah, the union's assistant executive director of external affairs, said by telephone Thursday.

Under the CBA, the league and union have a joint committee on player safety and welfare. The CBA gives the union the right "to commence an investigation before the Joint Committee if the NFLPA believes that the medical care of a team is not adequately taking care of player safety."

Don't expect a lot to come from this so long as the entire staff sticks to the same story. I think that if the Redskins are guilty of anything, it's poor communication and organization. I do not believe something sinister was taking place on the sidelines at FedEx Field. 

Still, it's more bad press during an unexpectedly tough time for the organization.
