BALTIMORE -- While it might come as a surprise to those who've come to expect drama from the Redskins' organization, the latest perceived mess involving Robert Griffin III might merely be the result of bad communication as opposed to a greater conspiracy.
One day after the sports world is scratching its collective head about an independent neurologist's decision to reverse course on Griffin's playing status -- ultimately sidelining him for Saturday's third preseason game -- there's a reasonable explanation for it all.
According to sources close to Griffin -- and contrary to general comments made by Redskins coach Jay Gruden during an appearance on NFL Network on Friday -- the league-mandated independent neurologist never made any conclusions on Griffin's status until Friday.
