Rypien1191 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 From JLC. This is bad. Enter chicken littles. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2008/11/jim_zorn_injury_update_1.html Clinton Portis is questionable at this point and his chances of facing Dallas on Sunday are "50-50," Coach Jim Zorn said after practice today. Portis has a knee sprain that has worsened since the team last played Nov. 3. Zorn remains optimistic that Portis will play, but conceded that "it would be a major issue for all of us," if he cannot. Zorn said that second-string back Ladell Betts may be back from his knee injury for Sunday's game, but that he is not "expecting" that result. Should the Redskins be without Betts and Portis, Zorn said RB Rock Cartwright would continue to return kicks, but would have some of his other special teams work curtailed given the shortage of available runners. If Betts returns and Portis is out, Zorn said Betts would play ahead of Shaun Alexander, but that it very well could be " a community position." Santana Moss's hamstring is still "a little tentative," but Zorn said he expects Moss to play Sunday. Defensive tackle Anthony Montgomery got an injection for his injured Achilles' and it's doubtful that he will practice this week, Zorn said. That means he is not likely to play Sunday. Back-up quarterback Todd Collins will rejoin the team for practice Wednesday; he was hospitalized for a severe sinus infection and ruptured eardrum during the bye in Boston and could not fly back. Zorn said that despite what was clearly a painful bye week, Collins will practice Wednesday and is driving back from Boston. Shawn Springs and Jason Taylor are still expected to play Sunday. Taylor's wound on his calf is now fully healed, Zorn said, and his swelling has dissipated. Wide receiver Malcolm Kelly will be pushed hard this week when the team puts on the pads starting Wednesday, with Zorn deciding this week whether to place him on the injured reserve list with his knee injury or try to activate him soon. "I hope on Sunday I have a difficult decision [on which receivers to dress]," Zorn said, though he still spoke cryptically of being able to have the rookie down the stretch.

AKM311 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I cannot envision us winning if he does not play. Maybe I am just being a pessimist without the news settling in, but this is the worst injury we could get, especially with Betts probably out.

stoney26 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 This is the first Ive heard of this. I kinda get a feeling that Zorn likes to keep the opposing teams guessing with the injury report. In his interviews, he answers all injury related questions with one word answers. He doesnt give you anything basically. Im hoping he is just trying to mess with the pukes head a little bit here.

BAFGA Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 maybe this is the reason that we didn't cut Shaun Alexander and instead cut torrence. CP might not be able to go this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyKilmer Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Portis will go, times like this though we really miss Betts being in top form. Ah well time will tell. WE WANT DALLAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsMaster88 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm sorry, but if Portis is out, we're going to struggle against Dallas. Already, Dallas will play like they have nothing to lose because their season depends on it. And to all those Betts supporters, we don't have anyone close to Portis' talent level at the RB position. Him being out will change our offense quite a bit and put more pressure on Campbell and the WRs to step up, which they didn't do on Monday night.

Rypien1191 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 We're done if CP is out. Maybe if Betts was healthy, we'd have a shot, but with both out, we're cooked. Rams game.... will come back to kill us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Janky Spanky Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 When exactly did he get hurt against the Steelers? I didn't think it was this serious. And how does he get worse, not better, during the week of rest? This is not good. Not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 You gotta be ****ing kidding me! This is why we have the bye week, to get everyone healthy, and whether is portis plays this week or not, this just means this will be one of those nagging injuries for a while. This is not good.

SkinsGuy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 People going into panic mode should relax (for now ). It is only Monday. The Redskins have just under a week before they play Dallas. Let's see what happens as the week goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inevitable Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 He got hurt early on a run, and I can tell you if the situation had happened on field turf instead of true grass, we'd all be singing a different tune right now. it was a nasty event, that ***** Polamalu came in at knee-ankle height full speed, and hit Portis right on the knee, it looked like his leg got caught, but thankfully it released and he limped off with what was claimed to be a cut on his leg. Zorn made mention of Polamalu coming in at ankle height several times on Sellars. We're real lucky Portis didn't get seriously injured on that play.

Area51 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 ****ING ****! **** YOU ****tsburgh and your fans. I remember the play (2nd quarter I think) that it happened and I was surprised he went back out there. Damnit, even after a bye week we still have lingering injuries...
