Report: Independent neurologist resigns following RG3 disaster

The independent neurologist responsible for shelving Robert Griffin III after he’d been cleared to play has reportedly informed the NFL he no longer intends work with the league.

Liz Clarke and Mark Maske of the Washington Post reported on this development, writing Dr. Robert N. Kurtzke resigned from the neurological consultant program operated by the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

Kurtzke will reportedly continue monitoring Griffin until he is cleared for action following the concussion he suffered in Week 2 of the preseason against the Detroit Lions.

This suspicious development is just the last in a long line of suspicious developments that have followed RG3 this summer.
