Robert Griffin III, the Washington Redskins franchise QB, suffered a non-contact injury while throwing a pass on the sideline in the 1st quarter against Jacksonville. It looks like RGIII rolled his ankle, and he was writhing in pain on the ground immediately afterward, and was replaced by backup Kirk Cousins.

Cousins threw a 20-yard TD pass on the next play and the Redskins took a 7-0 lead over the Jaguars. RGIII was taken to the locker room on a cart with an air cast on his left leg. [vine via Aaron Nagler]
