Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
Just when his shoulder is getting better, now this. Apparently it's not serious, but tendonitis is a nagging injury that could affect him as the season wears on. From Redskins.com:
[I] Asked about the health status of Portis, Gibbs revealed that the sixth-year running back has developed tendonitis in his knee. Portis visited with Dr. James Andrews, the team's medical consultant in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday. [/I] [I] The tendonitis in his knee flared up last week. It is not considered serious. [/I] [I]"He has had some soreness in his knee, but he said he could run and work out on it," Gibbs said. "He's on his weight [training] program. We'll see how the running goes. We'll see how quickly we can get him back. [/I] [I] "The main thing now is to get it taken care of now. What we don't want is this when we go to camp." [/I] [I]Portis has been continuing to rehab from offseason shoulder surgery. The shoulder is holding up well through the rehab, team officials said.[/I] |
Re: Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
THat deal signing Betts looks even a little better. Portis is our best running back but I really don't get too concerned because of Betts. The only thing that would worry me is having both injured.

Re: Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
That's definetly something of concern, one injury to another. They can be very nagging.
I agree Betts was a great sign, and Blaylock isn't looking so bad either. I also see an increased roll with Big Mike in his Fullback roll this year regardless of where we are with this CP issue. I'm hopefully optismistic all will be fine when we NEED CP, in the mid/latter part of the season, playoff streach. |

Sally Jenkins....crank up the hate. Portis missed Wednesday and Thursday critical OTA's. How will the players bond? Gibbs will have to call a press conference about how concerned he is that the team will collapse because one player missed two OTA's in May. Cancel the season.

Exactly what I was thinking |
Re: Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
It almost seems like they will eventually will move on with out him....not this year or maybe the next, but i bet Portis won't retire a skin.

Re: Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
Tendonitis is not a serious injury, it just means the tendons in his knee are inflammed. Anti-inflammatory medicine should do the trick. Nothing to be concerned about here.

Re: Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee
It's not serious but is very irritating. I thought the "Bus" had this as well. Thats why he would sit out and do very little work during the week. But he still found a way to overcome and play on Sun.

Typically runningbacks can miss a lot of time and still click when the season starts. I wouldn't worry yet... |

I wouldn't exactly compare the Bus and Portis but I know what you are saying. The good thing is that Betts gives them the option of taking it very slow with Portis. |
