adanley 1 Posted September 12, 2006 From Fanball THE NEWS Clinton Portis scored on a five-yard touchdown run and rushed for 39 yards on 10 carries in Monday's loss to the Vikings. Portis also added 11 receiving yards on two catches. Our View Portis and teammate Ladell Betts split the carries evenly on Monday, but Portis didn't show any ill effects of his dislocated shoulder while on the field. Expect him to be ready to receive a full load of carries and start next week's game against the Cowboys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarheel Boy 0 Posted September 12, 2006 The only time his shoulder could have possibly been hurt was when he dove for the fumble at the Vikings 5 yard line. He still played and was fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted September 12, 2006 The only time his shoulder could have possibly been hurt was when he dove for the fumble at the Vikings 5 yard line. He still played and was fine... He played a lot after that. Was that a brace he was wearing? I hope so, and with the brace it will be really hard to dislocate again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtammen 0 Posted September 12, 2006 He played a lot after that. Was that a brace he was wearing? I hope so, and with the brace it will be really hard to dislocate again. Yes it was a brace, the rest of it was under his jersey. He seemed to catch the ball fine out of the backfield and run fine. I'm excited for next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thill 0 Posted September 12, 2006 then maybe i misheard it. i got in the car from a meeting at 10:30 or so and then just heard the post game. i swear i heard that he banged it up again, but maybe i misheard. sorry for the confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted September 12, 2006 As a fan in the stands I watched Portis run off the field many times holding his arm. Then walk around the bench area slowly working it. There is no doubt he aggravated it a few times. Tough to say the extent of it, and he kept going back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CheeseAndWhine 0 Posted September 12, 2006 The real question will be how is it today. It was a mistake for him to play. Pure speculation as to the latter statement. Your first comment I agree with though. He really didn't seem to be feeling any real ill-effects from it during the game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Johnny Holmes Posted September 12, 2006 As a fan in the stands I watched Portis run off the field many times holding his arm. Then walk around the bench area slowly working it. There is no doubt he aggravated it a few times. Tough to say the extent of it, and he kept going back in. I saw the same thing. It appeared Portis was in pain after he lunged for his fumble. Maybe it just popped out of joint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really didn't seem to be feeling any real ill-effects from it during the game though. I wan't speculating, it was an opinion. If the guy is walking off the field holding his shoulder there is a good chance they were pushing it a bit and no way he was 100%. From a Skins standpoint, they lost the game anyway and now have the Cowboys up next week, and fans and Portis owners alike can only hope there weren't any setbacks.

scott72 0 Posted September 12, 2006 The real question will be how is it today. It was a mistake for him to play. I agree with this...Although I think this shoulder is going to bother him all year, so it could be one of those injuries where he can't make it worse?

hondo9 0 Posted September 12, 2006 During the postgame radio show, he said he was sore -- not because he aggravated his prior injury but because he had not played in game conditions, receiving real contact, since the day he was injured. He's just going to have to get back in real football shape, that's all. Is he in danger of reinjuring himself in each game? Yes. Did he do so last night? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's just going to have to get back in real football shape, that's all. Is he in danger of reinjuring himself in each game? Yes. Did he do so last night? No. With the brace he has, it is unlikely that he will dislocate again cause his arm will not be able to move in that direction. If you saw him run, he was not favoring it at all and looked great.

UberAlias 0 Posted September 12, 2006 I agree with this...Although I think this shoulder is going to bother him all year, so it could be one of those injuries where he can't make it worse? Well, since they had him wearing a brace, I can only assume that he COULD have make it worse or there would not have been a need. I'm sure he's fine, but it's obvious there is still some concern, so we'll just have to wait and see. Signs look good, but these things are always very uncertain.

thill 0 Posted September 12, 2006 That's not true thill. Your source is wrong. well, my sourse was just listening to the radio. appears to be verified by someone at the game. all the announcer said was that he appeared to "tweak it" or something. maybe re-aggrivation is too strong. but basically they were saying that he didn't come out clean.........

I am from D.C., and I haven't heard anything concerning any injuries. I guess we'll find out after practice. I doubt what the sports commentator was true, or it would have been blown up here everywhere. Portis was wearing protection/brace underneath his jersey. He could have just been adjusting it. But who knows. I'm not saying you are wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c_Weezie 3 Posted September 12, 2006 I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will be having problems with this injury all year and will not even come close to repeating last years number. Yeah, I traded him for LaMont Jordan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taa455 0 Posted September 15, 2006 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/WAS/9662607 Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs ruled Clinton Portis out for the game against the Dallas Cowboys, an announcement that surprised Portis and created yet another bizarre twist in the running back's injury saga. "He didn't practice today. ... If a guy doesn't practice, he's not going to play," Gibbs said. Gibbs said Ladell Betts, T.J. Duckett and Rock Cartwright will be the running backs against the Cowboys. Portis was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on the injury report, with Gibbs citing soreness from the pounding Portis took from playing in the season opener against Minnesota on Monday night.
