This is still a throwing team, even without CP laying people out in the backfield. It just becomes a little bit harder.

I don't know much about groin pulls, but he was already our 5 weeks? How long does it take to heal these things?

As I understand it he tore an ab muscle in Sundays game so it's not related to his groin tear.

That's actually worse, imo. Indicative of how much wear and tear his body has taken. Dude's made plenty of money, probably should just move on to the next phase... perhaps associate professor of diction at the U.

A Grade III strain, where the muscle came completely off the bone. 5 weeks is very quick to come back from this type of injury.

If Portis is still a Skin in '11, great. If not, it was a pleasure watching him play in DC.

This particular injury to Portis had the muscle torn from the bone.
