RGIII still sporting bulky knee brace
Robert Griffin III - QB - Washington Redskins
Jan. 6, 2013 - 4:10 PM ET

Robert Griffin III will continue to wear a bulky knee brace for Sunday's Wild Card round game versus the Seahawks.

RGIII was sporting just a rubber sleeve in warmups, but he's going back to the limiting brace for game action. Doctors won't allow him to play without the extra protection. "Anytime you wear a brace like that, it's to protect you, so it's going to cause a natural limp," Griffin acknowledged this week. "You're not going to be able to bend your knee normally. It restricts your flexion and your extension." He won't be as explosive as he was for the majority of the season.
