RuleBritannia Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Does anyone have any news about Portis' injury? I read he saw Dr. Andrews which doesn't sound good, but what is his status? Will he be ready for the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuleBritannia Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Didn't mean to be confusing I thought his knee tendonitis was common knowledge. I guess techmically not an injury but still a condition that is clearly affecting his ability to play football. I was just wondering how concerned people were over this and whether there were any updates on his condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) I think its a knee problem.... I'll look for a link Taken from this site Clinton Portis – RB – Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (knee) was in Nashville but missed his fourth straight preseason game dating back to last summer. Dr. James Andrews and the team doctors examined Portis in Nashville. Gibbs said they concluded that Portis "is on the right track ... to where (the swelling) will calm down and go away." But there's no date set for Portis' return. He has missed two weeks as of Aug. 13. Edited August 19, 2007 by ThatDude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuleBritannia Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 From CBS Sportsline (I know, I know...): Clinton Portis, RB WAS News: A swollen knee has also slowed Redskins running back Clinton Portis, who has been out for more than two weeks. Portis is not expected to play vs. Pittsburgh on Saturday, leaving Ladell Betts to get the bulk of the carries with the starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I read he saw Dr. Andrews which doesn't sound good He's on the skins payroll. I wouldn't be scared off by the fact he looked at his knee. He looks at all the redskins injuries. He's on the right track and I believe he'll be fully healed by the start of week 1. I've read that if it was regular season, Portis would be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz13 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 After getting hurt in preseason last year, Portis wants no part of it this year. He could and would play if the games counted. Expect an amazing recovery around Sept. 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
