RG3 coming back for Dallas game?
RG3 and the Skins have been very quiet on his injury and the time table for his return. Several weeks ago there was talk of him possibly being ready for the Dallas game (game after the bye week). The above video was taken from practice a couple of days ago where he is doing some agility drills. He certainly looks like a guy that is making significant progress from that dislocated ankle.
I will say this. I would love to have RG3 back. I know many people are down on him but he really hasn't had much of a chance to play healthy since his rookie season. I want him back but only if he is truly healthy. Suffering a dislocated ankle is a significant injury and the possibility of dislocating it again is very possible if it hasn't healed properly. If he does come back, I'm sure they will tape the heck out of the ankle to keep it as stable as possible but then how will that impact his play?
This will be interesting to see what unfolds but it certainly looks like he and the Skins are targeting that Dallas game.

Its really good that they have kept quiet. Clearly less of a team distraction than what happened between his rookie year and last year. He should only come back against Dallas only if the chance of him reinjuring is small. Even if he is not as effective, it will send a message that this is his team and the possibility of losing his job to Cousins in the future will be gone. Again I think the skins have a chance to win 6 of the remaining 11 games. And to do it with RG3 would be a huge boost going into next year.
Personally, I would love to see him come back against Dallas.
He should only come back if he is COMPLETELY healthy. I think he and the Skins have learned patience and I think they will be smart about his return.
Agree that the handling of the injury has been much better this time around.
The Skins have only had one really poor game. They have been in all the other games. Winning is contagious so too is losing. If they can string a couple of wins together it would make a world of difference. The Cardinals are tough but they have their own fair share of injury woes. It is a winnable game. If the Skins could pull that off, it sets up a pretty big game against Dallas and it would be fun to watch RG3 return for that game.
We should get a better sense this week if Dallas is any good as they get their turn against Seattle.
