Redskins' Griffin III to miss game against Browns Sat Dec 15, 2012 10:50pm EST (Reuters) - Rookie Washington Redskins' quarterback Robert Griffin III will not start Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after failing to overcome a knee sprain. The decision was not my own... Griffin tweeted on Saturday after failing a medical check. But I will be there for my team!!! In every way I possibly can. The Redskins are expected to start rookie quarterback Kirk Cousins in his place. Cousins, a fourth round pick out of Michigan State, will be making his first career start. Washington (7-6) are second in the NFC East, a game behind the New York Giants (8-5) in the division and the Chicago Bears (8-5) and Seattle Seahawks (8-5) in the wild card race with three games to play.
