James Andrews, the team’s senior orthopaedic consultant, disputed a claim by coach Mike Shanahan that he cleared Griffin to return Dec. 9 against Baltimore. Griffin subsequently left the game against the Ravens for good after initially returning and did not play for two weeks while his knee sprain healed.

Washington's Robert Griffin III was knocked out of Sunday's playoff loss after his right leg got stuck in the turf when he tried to handle a bad snap. An MRI on his injured knee Monday was inconclusive, so the quarterback is scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday to help clarify his status. (Andrew Harnik/The Washington Times)
