Robert Griffin III has been taking a few hits in recent games trying to make plays with his legs, as he so often did in college. Perhaps the hit he took today will be a lesson for him to learn when he should try to get out of bounds and save his body.
I know the Washington Redskins don’t want to see him get seriously hurt just to gain a yard or two; and it definitely looks like he could have gotten a concussion on this hit.
Update: It’s been confirmed by Adam Schefter now that RG3 did suffer a concussion.
No surprise but Redskins QB @RGIII diagnosed with a concussion.

Here’s what RG3’s backup, Kirk Cousins, did on his first drive:
