Tendinitis Slows Redskins RB Clinton Portis

Filed under: Redskins, Fantasy Football, NFL Injuries, Washington, DCRedskins running back Clinton Portis continues to suffer from tendinitis in his right knee, and the condition kept him out of Tuesday's training camp practice.It's the latest piece of bad news on the injury front for Portis, who got hurt in the Redskins' first 2006 preseason game (shortly after saying he didn't think veterans should have to play in the preseason because of the risk of injury) and was never fully healthy last season. Portis missed half the year and finished with just 523 rushing yards, almost 1,000 yards below his previous career average. With Chris Samuels likely to miss the entire preseason with a knee injury, the Redskins' offense won't be at full speed for a while. If there's any good news for Redskins fans, it's that Ladell Betts played very well in place of Portis last year. They may need him to do the same this year.Permalink Email this Comments
