December 19, 2006
Coach Joe Gibbs said there is room for both Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts in Washington next year, according to the Washington Post. "We feel great about those two guys carrying the ball for us," Gibbs said. "They've been great partners in the past. Clinton leads off and Ladell had a huge portion of the offense and what he's done this year has been great -- great for him and great for us. And certainly Clinton's our guy. He's rushed for a ton of yards for us and Ladell has a huge role for us and certainly there's room for having two good running backs and Ladell can also do a lot of other things for us." Betts has reeled off four straight 100-yard games while Portis is out for the year following a broken hand and shoulder surgery.
December 6, 2006
As expected, Clinton Portis underwent surgery yesterday to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder, according to the Washington Post. Portis already was done for the season due to his broken hand and will now require about six months to recover from his shoulder surgery.
November 16, 2006
As expected, the Redskins placed Clinton Portis on injured reserve yesterday, formally ending his season, according to the Washington Post. He had surgery Monday to repair his broken right hand, and he is slated for another procedure to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, which he dislocated in the preseason. Portis will need 4-5 months to recover from the shoulder procedure but should be fine for training camp.
November 15, 2006
The Redskins are expected to place Clinton Portis on the IR today, formally ending his season, according to the Washington Times.

Ladell Betts will take over as the No. 1 running back in Washington.
November 15, 2006
The Redskins are considering placing Clinton Portis on injured reserve, which would formally end his season, according to the Washington Post. Portis, who already was battling neck, ankle and shoulder injuries, broke his right hand Sunday. Portis said he was told it would take 6-8 weeks to recover from Monday's surgery that repaired his hand, which would make him available at best only for the regular-season finale.
November 13, 2006
Clinton Portis is expected to miss about a month due to the broken right hand he sustained yesterday, according to the Washington Post. Portis is expected to have the injury surgically repaired as soon as today. Ladell Betts will be the primary running back in the interim, though T.J. Duckett should get some touches. If the Redskins are out of the playoffs when Portis is healthy, it's possible they may just hold him out the rest of the season to be safe.
November 12, 2006
The injury that knocked Clinton Portis out Sunday's game was a broken right hand, according to the AP. Presumably, Portis will miss considerable action.

Clinton Portis was only able to do some light individual work in Monday's practice, according to the Washington Post. Portis is recovering from a high ankle sprain. "It's all right. It's coming around," Portis said. "I'm out of the cast. I did a little work moving around laterally, just seeing how it feels. It feels okay. I'm sure we'll do a little more on Wednesday having an extra day [of practice] this week. Today, I didn't try a lot. We'll come out and see what I can do on Wednesday and go from there."
October 24, 2006
Clinton Portis has a mild high-ankle sprain that could sideline him for practice during Washington's bye week, the Redskins official site reports. Portis expects to be available for the club's next game, Nov. 5 against Dallas.

October 22, 2006

October 20, 2006
Clinton Portis claims the new Redskin offense "isn't suited to me," according to a Washington Times report. "I have to adapt to (Al Saunders') game plan," Portis said. "The game plan isn't just suited to me. It's a team effort and it's about spreading the ball around and getting the touches to all of the play makers. Right now, I haven't been getting the carries I expected to get, but it'll come." Portis at least is well-slotted for success this week, up against a Colts defense that's handing out a whopping 5.2 yards a carry, most in the NFL.

No problems, no complaints," said Redskins director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer, who said Portis would be listed as probable on the injury report.

September 19, 2006
Clinton Portis told reporters that he will play on Sunday against the Texans, according to the Washington Post.

September 16, 2006
It remains unclear whether Clinton Portis will be able to play on Sunday, according to the Washington Post. "If a guy doesn't practice, he's not going to play, so we'll downgrade him," coach Joe Gibbs said. "He'll probably tell me he can play on game day, but he didn't practice so we'll move him down accordingly." However, Portis said his practice this week has been similar to what he did last week before playing in the opener. "I can't do anything but tell you to wait until Sunday. This bag is going to Dallas," Portis said. "We've seen some miracle days happen. This isn't a situation for me not to be playing."
September 15, 2006
Clinton Portis did not practice with the Redskins Friday and was downgraded to doubtful, according to head coach Joe Gibbs. Portis is battling a sore shoulder. "If a guy doesn't practice, he's not going to play," Gibbs told the team's official website, though he appeared to be making more of a general statement than referring specifically to Portis. If Portis can't go at Dallas, Ladell Betts would probably start with T.J. Duckett getting some work as well.
September 14, 2006
Clinton Portis did not practice on Thursday but remains confident that he'll play Sunday night against the Cowboys, according to the AP. Portis admitted that his shoulder was "real sore" after Monday night's game, but added that "As far as I know I'm playing."

September 13, 2006

September 9, 2006
Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs said Saturday that Clinton Portis will probably play on Monday night, but as the backup to Ladell Betts. Portis said "I'm about 93.9 right now. . . I've still got two more days to get to 100 percent. ... At the rate things have been increasing, it looks pretty good." Portis was upgraded to probable on the official NFL injury report.
September 8, 2006
Clinton Portis has essentially ruled himself out for the Monday night opener against the Vikings, according to the AP. He wore a helmet and jersey during the entire practice Friday for the first time since partially dislocating his left shoulder four weeks ago, but said he was focusing on the upcoming games against Dallas and Houston. "The way things look, bro, you'll probably be seeing 2-6 against Dallas," Portis said. "But who knows? If not, I should be ready for Houston. They want me to be 100 percent." Assuming there's no change in Portis' status, Ladell Betts will start Monday.
September 8, 2006
Clinton Portis (shoulder) appears unlikely to play in Monday's season opener, according to the Washington Post. He's officially listed as questionable. "I'd like to take that shot, but at the same time I have to do what's best for this team," Portis said. "T.J. [Duckett], Ladell [Betts] and Rock [Cartwright] are working hard enough to get us to this point and it's not right for me to just jump in and try and take over after what they've done. I still need to get back into football shape." Head coach Joe Gibbs says he will leave the final decision to Portis, and if Portis can't go, Ladell Betts will start.
September 7, 2006
Clinton Portis said Thursday that he's only about 75 percent recovered from his dislocated shoulder, according to the Washington Post.

Clinton Portis is expected to miss at least the remainder of the preseason after partially dislocating his shoulder in last night's preseason game, according to the Washington Post.
