A couple of bumps and bruises. Take a look at this picture, t spid web on the bus of that one. Dianna is joining us on the phone. Shes traveling with the team in just outside the city in adina . Thats correct. I was also not on the bus. The redskins buses leave early to head to the studio to get prepared. Media doesnt usually get there hour. In fact, im a little late. Ive got to head out there soon. Good news to hear, no injuries, no major problems here to report. I did speak to the redskins Public Relations spokesperson, tony wiley over the phone. He made it official that this was true. In fact, an accident happened. Theres going to be effect on the team and there are no major injuries which, of course, is the best news here. The details of how this went down, as im told, the Police Escort, ths a motorcade of what ive seen in the past from other games. I didnt s one this morning. Usually theyre pretty similar. Theres a few police cars and theres usually about six to eight Police Officers on motorcycles. Whatd was they were on the highway and they missed the exit, the Police Escort missed the exit. So they trie catch it and get off quickly. And what that did, unfortunately, was cause redskins bus num brakes which caused red skings bus number two to hit them from behind. Theres a re big crack on the windshield which you just showed here. Im assuming that was from bus number one hitting them. Speaking the the players and coaches over the phone, everyone seemed pretty upset, pretty rattled by it. I think we can understand how that can be a really scary feeling knowing youre in a bus, were glad everybody is okay, dianna. From talking with the players and the coaches, at this point what is the sense as far as their mindset for continuing on, soldiering on. Are you getting any indication that perhaps they are too shaken . Here is how i already know that their mind is already on the game is because i followed up with a few over texts now because theyre at the stadium and cant taublg on the phone. Theyre already talking football. So theyre over the accident. They moved oven. Theyre focused, getting on the field, getting ready to warm up for the game. I think this group now, im sure theyve cam md down a bit. I wouldnt be surprised if maybe a few are going to be rattled. We have a few hours before kickoff here. In my opinion, just from the ones i speak with and the ones communicating with, it seems everyone is okay here. Dianna, today is the day rg3 comes back. Any idea if he was on one of the buses . No. He was not. From what im told, he was not. That is good news. Theres some reports out there going on some stuff going on this morning about players not wanting rg3 to start and all that is inaccurate. A lot of players went out of their way to make sure the media was aware. Theyre so excited to have number ten back under center. Theres going to be a transition because they got used to these backup guys. If what i can tell, the mind set here is that the redskins are ready to go with the team thats supposed to be are robert at quarterback.
