Washington Redskins Plan to Keep RGIII as Backup QB

I guess it doesn't really matter whether he's cleared from his concussion yet, or not.

The Redskins and RGIII still don't know the results of his latest neurological exam. Turns out that doesn't matter with regards to whether RGIII survives cut-down day or not. In a bit of a surprise more, the Redskins plan to keep RGIII as their second-string QB according to team sources (as reported by NFL Media reporter Jeff Darlington). That's right, that means the team will hang on to the risk of a $16.2M injury in the event RGIII becomes seriously injured.
