Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

scowan · 09-03-2006, 11:00 PM

Ok guys, when will we start to hear how Clinton Portis is progressing? Do we have to wait for the injury report on Thursday, or do you guys think we will hear something before then? I really don't want to see Betts or Ducket starting for us this week. As if the Skins don't need enough of an emotional boost to get ready for the Vikings, having Portis in the starting lineup would be great!

Well I think the team has already annouced that Portis is healing faster than expected, and if it were regular season he would have played last week. I think it is enough info. Plus wtf is up with the title dude, that is just not cool. Change it mod, that is seriously not good.

Well we know for sure Portis has been out of his sling for a while now. Also, Gibbs said last week Clinton was participating in drills and so forth. From all indications, it looks like his rehab is on schedule and he'll be in the line-up on September 11th.

i heard he might not be ready...but Im sure he suits up either way.

We probably wont disclose to much so they cant game plan as well for us...not that we have shown anything anyways...

Portis will play. A subluxed shoulder with no fracture, or significant range of motion deficit. As long as he isn't in horrible pain he should play. It will have been a month out on september 11th. No way he doesn't start.

LOL, me too.. I was in two drafts, had #9 and #10 and got Portis in both drafts. Without the injury he was a top 4-5 pick..

I want him healthy moreso for the Redskins sake, but I'll love for his success to be mine too!

I have first hand knowledge that his shoulder looks to be doing very well. I will expand on this in a later post but for now I can say that at his birthday party on Saturday at his house he was picking up heavy overstuffed chairs and moving them around with ease. The shoulder showed no issues and someone even mentioned it and he said it was cool. How do I know this? THAT is what will be xplained when I have time.

Constantly we hear about -Is there more to Portis' injury. Careful thought and inside word is that the arrival of TJ will be permanent and that CP will be dealt after the season. Does anyone think speaking out about Gibbs or confronting the media is tolerated in this club? I kid you not this wound will not heal next year be ready for something totally different.

how'd you pull that one off? I think having portis in the backfield sept 11 with be huge emotional boost for this. Can we say he is our franchise player?

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-04-2006, 08:24 AM

I just want the press conference!

wamo · 09-04-2006, 10:16 AM

I’m not sure what to think, Joseph White of AP reported…(posted Sept. 2)

Gibbs said RB Clinton Portis (shoulder) and CB Shawn Springs (abdomen) are the only players whose availability is in serious doubt for the opener. "Most of the other guys are ready to roll," Gibbs said

I hope he is ready, but if not 100% let him sit. No need to risk further injury. I think we can beat the Vikes with Betts and Duckett.
