cliaz Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) EDIT - I mean not tomorrow but Monday night. Sorry Clinton Portis, RB WAS News: In a surprise announcement, coach Joe Gibbs said Saturday he thinks Clinton Portis will be a backup in the Washington Redskins' Monday night opener against the Minnesota Vikings. "If I had to say, I think Ladell will start and Clinton will play a backup role in the game," Gibbs said. "That's the way I think it's going to go. I think that's what we've tried to accurately portray during the week." It isn't what Portis has portrayed. On Thursday, Portis all but ruled himself out of the game and said he was only 75 percent healthy. On Friday, he said he wasn't even sure he would return in time for the Week 2 game at Dallas, then joked that he was up to 83 percent. On Saturday, Portis changed his tune. "I'm about 93.9 right now," he said. "I've still got two more days to get to 100 percent. ... At the rate things have been increasing, it looks pretty good."

cliaz Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 what about Duckett??? Gibbs had said Bettis and Duckett may get 3rd down, short yardage plays. but that was like 3 days ago on the evening news. I'll watch Redskins report tonight and post any updates.
