http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3151 Recent articles about Clinton Portis en-us by R.J. WhiteFiled under: Expert ChatsClinton Portis owners will be crossing their fingers in the hopes they can snag Ladell Betts off the wire. Owned in five percent of Fleaflicker leagues, Betts is likely handcuffed to Portis already in most leagues where he's unavailable. If you have an extra spot on your team with a droppable player you'd like to cut, Betts is a fine add, even if you don't have Portis. Remember, there's no such thing as "too much" RB depth. Havin...

"Of course, I'm going to have to fight back and forth with doctors and coaches," Portis said this afternoon on ESPN 980's "The John Thompson Show." Coach Jim Zorn said Monday that Portis suffered a concussion in Sunday's 31-17 loss at Atlanta, and Portis would be doubtful for thi...

It was unsettling to watch Portis lay on the Georgia Dome field after suffering a concussion early during the 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and it would be wise for him to sit out for some time because of the head injury. Portis's situation, however, renews immediate and long-term questions about the state of the Redskins' running game. It was clear from the start of training camp that P...

Zorn said the Redskins plan to sign a running back and possibly add another safety (likely a core special-teams player) because top back Clinton Portis (concussion) could be sidelined indefinitely and strong safety Chris Horton (toe) might go on the season-endi...

While it's easy to focus on the absence of running back Clinton Portis (doubtful, concussion) and safety Chris Horton (out, toe), it's difficult to overstate what it means for the offensive line to undergo yet another shuffling of faces. With tackle Mike Williams (ankle) out for two to four weeks, the Redskins will field their fifth different offensive line of the sea...

As if things weren’t quite bad enough the team will now have to do without Clinton Portis for a while after the running back sustained a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. But fear not, Redskins fans, because Danny and the Sarge (pictured above looking [...] Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:08:33 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Need_To_Worry_8216The_Brass_8217_Has_An_Idea/1533370 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Need_To_Worry_8216The_Brass_8217_Has_An_Idea/1533370 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/No_Need_To_Worry_8216The_Brass_8217_Has_An_Idea/1533370 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/9/1/91f321799281b3f03cae943d8419ecbdf755c1d4/small/Washington_Redskins_Training_d930.jpg Redskins running back Clinton Portis still had a headache Monday after suffering a concussion against the Falcons.

What's not as clear: whether Larry Johnson will be that new running back. Johnson was released this morning by the Kansas City Chiefs. If he clears waivers, he'd become an unrestricted free agent and any team would be free to negotiate for his services. There are several reasons the deal could go down. First, Portis' status...

Portis, the Redskins' leading rusher on the season, took the ball from quarterback Jason Campbell and ran over left tackle with three minutes, 26 seconds left in the first quarter and the Redskins trailing 7-0. Center Casey Rabach held on the play, but Portis fell hard to the Geo...

Portis took a couple of hard shots on a running play, with Atlanta's Chevis Jackson and Thomas DeCoud each landing blows -- at least one of which appeared to be helmet-to-helmet. No penalty was called on the play. Portis stayed down on the field at the end of the play, then walked un...

Portis, the Redskins' leading rusher, broke through the left side of the line on a second-and-12 play from the Atlanta 36 yard line. Center Casey Rabach was called for holding on the play, and Portis fell hard to the turf as he was tackled by Atlanta defensive backs Chevis Jackson and Thomas DeCoud. Por...

After a 33-yard run by running back Michael Turner gave Atlanta a first down at the Washington 17, the Redskins' defense stiffened a bit, and forced a fourth-and-1 situation at the 8. The Falcons appeared content to try to draw the Redskins offside, but ultimately call timeout and kick a field goal. But Haynesworth bit on the hard ...
