peterson tore his acl last year and came back for an amazing season this year and our lindsay murphy has been on the story and joins us now with more. lindsay? >> reporter: yes, scott. robert griffin 3 story has been the great debate since sunday night. redskins fans on twitter have not been shy when speaking about the situation. but when news came out he was having surgery this morning, many shared the same thoughts, that they can wait however long as long as robert gets healthy. he was an unstoppable force on the football field this season and candid off of the field. >> we never shared a burrito. for the first time since he was drafted second overall last april, robert griffin 3 proved he is human as well.

pressure on him and exceeded every single expectation. and when you're in that situation where you're constantly facing a franchise and you have a lot of expectations and put a lot of pressure on yourself, he came in with a lot of expectations for himself that i think exceeded those around him. >> reporter: the nose tackle for the redskins e-mailed me with his response to the news a couple of minutes ago and saying in part the recent success of guys coming back from the serious knee injuries gives you hope that hcan bounce back strong. he will attack the rehab like every other obstacle so far in his career and he doll better than ever in 2013. a lot of people feel optimistic about his recovery. >> thank you, m runs ph. we asked our fans on facebook what impact do you think rg3s

knee injury will have on the redskins in the future. latici awhiles i think it will make them pay more attention to when a player hurts themselves and i don't think anyone thought the injury was as severe as it was and chrised rg3 is not going to last long in the nfl if he's playing the way he is and he's good, i would keep her cousins around and -- writes with technology -- for $2,000 he is a front runner to win super bowl. our team is just fine and we have excellent backups in cousins. to share your spots g to my fox d.c. facebook page. >> the pressure is on rg3 to do everything he can to heal fast. scott smith, lindsay murphy, thank you. shawn, over to you. >> and for what is ahead for robert griffin 3, we should let the audience know you're the head physician for the washington capitals. we appreciate you being here.

recovery. it's probably not appreciably different. statistically, the success in place of return and the previous levels of activity is lower the second time around and because it's -- to other injuries to the knee. sounds like he had a fairly straight forward repair. the acl and lcl. i would expect he's going to recover very well despite the fact it's a revision. >> thank you very much for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me, shawn. thank you. >> will. a developing story in new york city tonight. dozens of people seriously hurt in a crash. the ship was carrying more than 300 passengers from new jersey this morning when it crashed into a manhattan dock. fox's rick leventhal has more. >> reporter: the morning commute ends with a volt when a
