NFL coach: Jay Gruden let RG3 take beating on purpose

Robert Griffin III sustained a “minor” concussion last week in a preseason game against the Lions. RG3 took hit after hit from a ferocious Detroit front seven, but Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden kept sending him back onto the field.

At least one NFL head coach has questioned Gruden’s intentions.

Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report says he spoke with an NFL head coach who expressed shock over the way Gruden has been treating Griffin.

“I have never, ever, on any level, seen a head coach treat his quarterback with such a lack of respect,” the anonymous coach said.
