RG3 Taken Out of Game With A Concussion

Tough day for RG3 and the Washington Redskins.

After immobilizing the undefeated Atlanta Falcons in the first quarter, and much of the first half, the tide takes an ugly turn in the second.

RG3 gets stitches on the sideline.
RG3 was hit by Falcons' Sean Weatherspoon leaving the rookie QB dazed and confused, with a concussion. 
 
“He wasn’t sure what quarter it was in the third quarter", said Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. "At that time, when he wasn’t really sure what the score was or what quarter it was, we knew he had a mild concussion – at least according to the doctors. He feels good right now – a lot better right now. But that was the situation, why he didn’t go back into the game.”
 
 
 
Scary play for the fans.  Brutal reality tweets on Twitter, from non fans, many 'welcoming' RG3 to the NFL.

RG3 Got that official Welcome to the League Hit
RG3 just got the official welcome to the NFL memo.

RG3 made a tweet of his own, letting fans know that he is alright and will be ready to play next week.

"I'm ok and I think after all the testing I will play next week."
