What is the injury status of Clinton Portis?

On ESPN, Sal Paolantonio reported that Portis is still banged up, will wear extra padding on his shoulders, and hopes he doesn't take "a direct hit" on his shoulders.

Yikes.

lets spell portis alittle more with betts and maybe even a rock sighting

Yeah, you're right. Just fired up, getting close to game time!!!
Me sowwy. now now a little game-day trash talk among fans is fun guys . it's healthy to joust a little among skins fans spit:vomit: out a statistic or insult.we cant be kissing each other's asses , CAUSE WE ARE ON A 6 GAME winning STREAK.AWESOME ISNT IT:woot: and 44 me sowwy ?? a little wakey and bakey:party-smi ??we are all true fanz:point:

I don't think they would be giving the media that info if he were really, really bad. The NFL way is to try to conceal injuries.

However, it seems that since he started having stingers they have become a regular occurrence. Its the body telling the mind to cut it out. This is not healthy. Portis has been awesome with his toughness. Other Redskins running backs whom I won't name and who were bigger guys would be sitting I think.

An unhealthy Portis and struggling passing game make me really worried. Hopefully our defense can play on both sides of the ball.

Yeah. I see some outside running or some screens for Portis today. They wont touch or D in second half so a lead would be nice.
