Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee

[SBXVII]

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.

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.

Even with his injury last season, Portis has about 300 more rushing yards and 20 more touchdowns than Bettis had in his first five years in the league, so it's not exactly an unfair comparison. The test will be to see if Portis can last another five seasons.

And tendonitis isn't a huge deal if it's dealt with properly. If it lingers all season, then it might be a sign of a bigger problem, but I doubt that will happen.
