My gut says more of the same for the rest of this year w/ the occasional big game.

The problem is that they have not released any significant news about Portis's ankle sprain. If it is a High Ankle Sprain, I would expect to see no action for 4 weeks and then limited action as they limp away missing the playoffs.
Having S Moss "feign" a hammy pull when he was being taken to the store by the Indy DB's is another unknown.
I just traded for Betts. I do not own Portis. I just went in with the idea that he was on bye and they would not think he had any real value since there was no news on Portis -- A real Buy Low IMO.
The trade was Edge & Brad Johnson for Willie Parker and Betts. They lost Bledsoe at QB.

Between the lingering shoulder issue and now a high ankle sprain, there is probably a decent chance Portis doesn't finish the season. If the Skins were a contender, he could certainly keep playing. But if they keep picking up losses, sending Portis to the DL for the last few weeks might be a good idea. No reason to run your franchise back into the ground when your season is over and he is already hurting.

Total Crap Statement!& I own both Redskins backs!
I agree with that.
The shoulder is most certainly still an issue. Notice him wearing a sling last Sunday? Again, I'm not "predicting" anything. Just pointing out that he could well be shut down during fantasy playoffs if the Skins are out of contention (they will be) and his injuries have not healed fully. And yes, I think it would make more sense to sent Portis to the IR instead of giving him meaningless carries if he is less than 100%. Don't know what will happen, but if you are a Portis owner, keep an eye on this as your trade deadline approaches.It is what it is said:Portis shoulder has not been a lingering issue at all this year....Why would you put your franchise RB on the DL due to an ankle sprain?

Not totally true. He played half the first game and missed the second game, but from there yeah, his play has not been affected by the shoulder. The truth is we don't know about the ankle until next week's injury reports and games. That said, he's a gamer and he'll play if he can. I also think this team can go nowhere but up on offense going forward. Yeah, Campbell may appear to harm his chances but defenses are already challenging the line of scrimmage given Brunell's reluctance to throw deep, so . . .It is what it is said:Portis hasn't missed a game or a snap all year long due to the shoulder. This being said, I fail to see how it's an issue.The shoulder is most certainly still an issue.

I actually dropped him this week. He was $36/$100 toward the cap. I am hoping I get him back during the blind bidding but for way less than $36. He's just not worth it. To many concerns.
It was the same shoulder. He reaggrevated it during the Minny game. Gibbs left it up to Portis to decide if he was going to play week 1, Clinton played and wasn't quite ready.It is what it is said:I thought it was the left shoulder in the preseason...and the right collarbone after the season opener versus Minnesota that caused him to miss the Dallas game (week 2)?Not totally true.

shoulder is not a concern at all anymorethe groin was a helmet to the nuts, that is not a problem from this point forwardas for the "mild" high ankle sprain, I am not sure it is that bad as he didn't even receive treatment for it at the game.

Expect missed plays during the game. Going to be like this all year.

if it's not a concern "AT ALL"... then why was he wearing the sling/brace last week?http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&...0998b2c6966a0dc
have a look... you can see there's something for his left shoulder than hangs below his sleeve.
the shoulder is a concern... there is visual evidence
Do they always put a player in a walking boot with for a mild sprain I'm just asking?

Dude, it's a brace. Wearing a brace doesn't mean his shoulder is bothering him at all. It's there to prevent further injury. Do we have to list the number of players in the NFL that wear some type of brace. It would be a huge list.....Huge.When was the last time Portis was on the injury report with a shoulder injury Mr. Visual Evidence
?Better be careful, I hear LT....gasp....wraps his ankles in tape before an NFL game. I also spotted Peyton Manning with a knee brace for the last 8 years. It's obviously a concern for everyone, there is visual evidence.

Yes, walking boots are very popular treatment in the NFL for foot and ankle injuries. It allows for complete rest for the injury.

make up your mindeither there is no injury concern with his shoulder.Dude, it's a brace. Wearing a brace doesn't mean his shoulder is bothering him at all. It's there to prevent further injury.

or
he's wearing a brace to prevent further injury to the shoulder.
those are mutually exclusive.
his right shoulder isn't in a brace... why?... because there's less CONCERN for injury w/ that one.
there is concern there.... FACE IT.

First, anyone who knows CP's character KNOWS he isnt going to miss any game he can play in - regardless of the win/loss record. The guy is a warrior.
Second, Joe Gibbs teams almost ALWAYS finish the season strong, regardless of the record. If they don't make the playoffs, they will play the spoiler. That is a hallmark of his teams.
Third, no-one has reported this as definitively a high-ankle sprain. All I heard was CP saying he would be ready in 2 weeks.
In leagues that I own him, personally I am holding.

Give it up, he has not missed a snap due to his shoulder since week #2. The brace is to prevent a re-injury. Why does Manning wear a brace? Is there a concern to injure his knee? Yes, that is why you wear a brace. Does it affect his play? NO Has he been on the injury report with a shoulder since about week #3?It is only logical for someone who dislocated their shoulder to have a brace to make sure it doesn't happen again.make up your mindeither there is no injury concern with his shoulder.Dude, it's a brace.

I had a dislocated shoulder playing football. The following weeks, it doesn't hurt or affect you unless it comes out again. Guess what!!!! That is what the brace is PREVENTING, a re-injury!
The brace he is wearing on his shoulder is the same concept as the brace worn by Manning and Palmer. It prevents the body part from moving in a particular direction.
You obviously have not watched a single game of Portis since week #3, if you have you would have no question in your mind that Portis is having no ill effects from the shoulder.
I think you are just one of those guys that passed on him in the 2nd round and feel stupid about it and want to validate your bad draft decision.

Portis is 9th in HP PPR and he missed some time and split a game as well. He is a Pimp.

You sound awfully upset. In week three Portis had like a 75 tard reception with one man to beat at the 10. He said he didn't take on the defender cause he didn't want to hurt his shoulder. So you could say the shoulder injury has had effected his play.Give it up, he has not missed a snap due to his shoulder since week #2. The brace is to prevent a re-injury.

So what if he got tackled after, I'll take that production any week.
Football players play with pain. There is a difference between being hurt and being injured though.
Most players are hurt at this point. Portis is/was hurt. But he gets 2 weeks to recover now and we'll see how that team comes back.
As I have said, in leagues that I own him, I am holding.

You sound like you'reHe sounds gimpy to me. Shoulder, groin, high ankle sprain.

THIS JUST IN...BREAKING NEWS...PORTIS WAS SEEN WEARING A PROTECTIVE CUP IN THE LOCKER ROOM AS HE WAS GETTING DRESSED FOR THE GAME....FANTASY OWNERS FEAR THE GROIN INJURY MAY BE WORSE THEN 1ST ANTICIPATED!You sound like you'reHe sounds gimpy to me. Shoulder, groin, high ankle sprain.

wrong on both countsno... i don't get to see Portis play every week (have seen watched him twice since week 3 i think)... but i'm always on the game threads here and NFL.com keeping an eye on Portis, because YES, i do own him. And i hold the opinion that his injury is still a concern.... if not, why has he only gotten 20 carries once this season? Is Betts that good? Or are they protecting him (like that brace) from FURTHER injury because they are CONCERNED with injuries?SteelerMurf said:Give it up, he has not missed a snap due to his shoulder since week #2.

so i guess we can agree to disagree on that
we do agree however that he's a HOLD... unless you could get Sjax or someone in the top 4... but i'm not shopping him
